52 Duration and transfer of certificate of compliance

(1) A certificate of compliance for a building or works has effect from the time it is issued until: (a) the building or works cease to exist, or undergo an alteration that is not accommodated by the information on which the certificate is based; or (b) if, under section 58 or 59, the certificate is revoked before it would otherwise cease to be in force—when it is revoked. (2) If a person is the successor, for the time being, in title to the interest in the building or works of the holder of the original certificate, in respect of which the certificate was issued: (a) the certificate is taken to be transferred to the person; and (b) the person is taken to be the holder of the certificate.
