What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought deletion of three industrial hereditaments (Units 13-15, Units 14-15, and Unit 18) on the grounds that no valid completion notices were served, arguing that the completion date set (3 May 2016) was in the past when the notices were received (9 May 2016), breaching Schedule 4A paragraph 2(3). The tribunal found that the completion notices were substantially compliant with Schedule 4A despite the six-day delay in service, as the properties were clearly identified, complete apart from minor tenant-specific works, and the notices' purpose was clear. The tribunal dismissed the appeals, holding that there was no invalidity and that the appellant could have challenged the completion date under Schedule 4A paragraph 4 if aggrieved.", <parameter name="represented">true
