of suitability had been issued by the District Council under an enactment
repealed by this Act, and a basement bakehouse which has not been in use for a
period exceeding twelve months must not be so used again.
The section places an obligation on district councils to in every fifth
succeeding year after the commencement of this Act carry out an examination of
every basement bakehouse in respect of which a certificate of suitability had
been issued. If as the result of the examination the Council are not satisfied
that the bakehouse is suitable for use as such as regards construction,
height, light, ventilation, and any hygienic respect, they must give notice in
writing that the certificate shall cease to have effect after the expiration
of such period, being not less than one month, as may be specified in the notice
and the basement bakehouse must not be used as a bakehouse after the expiration
of that period.
If the Council are satisfied that the bakehouse is suitable as regards the
matters aforesaid, they must give notice in writing that the certificate shall
continue to operate so long as the bakehouse may otherwise lawfully be used,
but without prejudice to the power of the Council to revoke the certificate as
the result of a subsequent examination. The occupier may appeal to a Court of
Summary Jurisdiction against the decision of the local authority to withdraw
the certificate of suitability and may further appeal to the Quarter Sessions
