Within 28 days beginning with the date on which the authority receives a regulation 2(1) notice of claim, the authority must decide whether or not it has received sufficient information and evidence under regulation 2(3) to enable it to determine the matters mentioned in paragraph (2).
The matters mentioned in this paragraph are—
whether the authority is or is not liable to pay compensation to the applicant under section 133(2) of the Act; and
if it is liable—
whether or not the lease makes provision about the procedure to be followed in assessing the amount of compensation which the authority is liable to pay under section 133(2) of the Act; and
the amount of compensation the authority is liable to pay under section 133(2) of the Act in cases where the lease does not make such provision.
If the authority decides under paragraph (1) that it has not received sufficient information or evidence under regulation 2(3) to allow it to determine the matters mentioned in paragraph (2) it must, within the period mentioned in paragraph (1), give the applicant written notice stating any further information or evidence that it requires.
The applicant must give the authority any information or evidence stated in the notice mentioned in paragraph (3) within—
28 days beginning with the date on which the applicant receives the notice; or
such longer period as agreed between the authority and the applicant in writing.
