§ 12. Where, after a notice of increase has been served in respect of any dwelling, its 1956 gross value is reduced under paragraph 1 or under Part III of this Schedule, the notice shall not be invalidated but shall take effect so far as it can without causing the rent to exceed the rent limit.
§ 13. For the purposes of this Schedule, a proposal shall be taken to be settled when an alteration is made in the valuation list so as to give effect to it, or to an agreement made in consequence of it, or when the proceedings on an appeal against, or a reference to arbitration relating to, an objection to the proposal (including any proceedings in consequence of such an appeal or reference to arbitration) are finally determined, or when the proposal is withdrawn. Whichever first occurs.—[Mr. H. Brooke.]
