ABSTRACT

Section 79(2) provides that formal notification of the claim to exercise Right to Manage can be given no earlier than 14 days after the section 78 Notice Inviting Participation has been given to all those entitled to receive it. The Act does not help us to determine whether any additional time should have been allowed for service of the section 78 notice; unless and until judicial guidance is given on this point, it seems likeliest to assume that the 14 days run from the date the notice is hand delivered or put in the post.
