s 55 Recovery of expenses and costs payable by owners
55.—(1) The sum payable by an owner in respect of expenses under section 51(2) is a first charge on the premises in respect of which the expenses or costs have been incurred. (2) Such sum may be recovered by the same means and in like manner as if it were a sum payable in respect of a tax remaining unpaid at the expiry of the prescribed time within the meaning of section 36. (3) The charge in this section attaches, and the powers and remedies in this section become exercisable as from the date of completion of the work, and thereafter the powers and remedies may be exercised against the premises or against any movable property or crops for the time being found thereon, despite any change or changes in the ownership or occupation of the premises subsequent to that date.
