Letting of courthouse accommodation.

9.—(1) It shall be lawful for the county registrar or district court clerk having the custody and control of any courthouse accommodation provided under this Act to let out on hire whenever he thinks proper to any person for any purpose the use of all or any part of such courthouse accommodation for any period or periods at such charge and on such conditions as such county registrar or district court clerk shall think proper but subject to the limitations—

(a) that such letting out on hire shall be made by way of licence to use and occupy and not by way of tenancy nor so as to create the relation of landlord and tenant, and

(b) such letting out on hire shall not be made for any period or in any circumstances which would cause such letting out on hire to interfere with or prejudice the use of such courthouse accommodation for the primary purpose for which it is maintained under this Act.

(2) All moneys received by a county registrar or district court clerk for any letting out on hire under this section of all or any part of any courthouse accommodation shall be paid by such county registrar or district court clerk to the council by whom such courthouse accommodation is maintained.
