Section 87(7) of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 (“the 1993 Act”) provides that failure to comply with any provisions of an approved code of practice does not of itself render any person liable to any proceedings, but in any proceedings, the code of practice shall be admissible as evidence and any provision which appears to be relevant to any question arising in the proceedings shall be taken into account.
