2:-

    (1) In any case where a residential contract is determinable by notice given by either party to the other, a notice so given shall be of no effect unless it is given not less than 4 weeks before the date on which it is to take effect.


4:--

    (1) If in proceedings by the owner of a protected site the court makes an order for enforcing in relation thereto any such right as is mentioned in paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of section 3 of this Act, the court may (without prejudice to any power apart from this section to postpone the operation or suspend the execution of an order, and subject to the following provisions of this section) suspend the enforcement of the order for such period not exceeding twelve months from the date of the order as the court thinks reasonable.

    (2) Where the court by virtue of this section suspends the enforcement of an order, it may impose such terms and conditions, including conditions as to the payment of rent or other periodical payments or of arrears of such rent or payments, as the court thinks reasonable.

    (3) The court may from time to time, on the application of either party, extend, reduce or terminate the period of suspension ordered by virtue of this section, or vary any terms or conditions imposed thereunder, but shall not extend the period of suspension for more than twelve months at a time.

    (4) In considering whether or how to exercise its powers under this section, the court shall have regard to all the circumstances, and in particular to the questions -

      (a) whether the occupier of the caravan has failed, whether before or after the expiration or determination of the relevant residential contract, to observe any terms or conditions of that contract, any conditions of the site licence, or any reasonable rules made by the owner for the management and conduct of the site or the maintenance of caravans thereon;

      (b) whether the occupier has unreasonably refused an offer by the owner to renew the residential contract or make another such contract for a reasonable period and on reasonable terms;

      (c) whether the occupier has failed to make reasonable efforts to obtain elsewhere other suitable accommodation for his caravan (or, as the case may be, another suitable caravan and accommodation for it)


6:-

    (1) Subject to the provisions of this and the next following section, it shall be the duty of every local authority being the council of a county, county borough or London borough to exercise their powers under section 24 of the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 (provision of caravan sites) so far as may be necessary to provide adequate accommodation for gipsies residing in or resorting to their area.


13:-

    (1) A structure designed or adapted for human habitation which

      (a) is composed of not more than two sections separately constructed and designed to be assembled a site by means of bolts, clamps or other devises; and

      (b) is, when assembled, physically capable of being moved by road from one place to another (whether by being towed, or by being transported on a motor vehicle or trailer),

    shall not be treated as not being (or as not having been) a caravan within the meaning of Part 1 of the Caravans Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 by reason only that it cannot lawfully be so moved on a highway when assembled.

    (2) For the purposes of Part 1 of the Caravan Sites and Control of Development Act 1960 the expression `caravan' shall not include a structure designed or adapted for human habitation which falls within paragraphs (a) and (b) of the foregoing sub-section if its dimensions when assembled exceed any of the following limits, namely
