16 Successors in title bound by order

(1) If the Court makes an order under Part 2 requiring a person who is an owner of land on which a tree is situated (an "original owner") to carry out work in relation to the tree within a specified period and the original owner ceases to be the owner of the land before the work is carried out, a successor in title to the owner:

(a) is required to carry out that work, and

(b) to that extent, is bound by the order in the same way as the original owner (except as provided by this section).

(2) The successor in title is bound by the order only if the applicant for the order gives a copy of the order to the successor in title.

(3) For the purposes of this section the specified period within which the work is required to be carried out under the order is taken to commence from the date on which the copy of the order is given to the successor in title.
