Article 12 Apportionment

All money transferred to or sums realised by South Tyneside by or in pursuance of the transfer by this Order (other than articles 2(3) and 3(2) and (3)) of any property or rights shall, after deduction of any relevant expenditure, be apportioned among the local councils; and South Tyneside shall pay the appropriate proportion to each of the other local councils and shall retain the balance.

If in any financial year the aggregate in that year of the money and sums referred to in paragraph (1) is insufficient to meet any relevant expenditure for that year, that expenditure shall, to the extent that it is not met from that aggregate, be apportioned among the local councils; and the appropriate proportion shall be recoverable by South Tyneside from each of the other local councils.

In this article, “relevant expenditure” means expenditure attributable to this Order which is not defrayed by virtue of any other provision of this Order.
