What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought deletion of three industrial units on the grounds that no valid completion notice had been served because the notices dated 3 May 2016 were not received until 9 May 2016, making the completion date retrospective. The tribunal found that there was substantial compliance with Schedule 4A requirements, the notices were not ambiguous or misleading, and minor defects in timing did not render them null and void, especially where a statutory remedy (appeal under paragraph 4) was available. The appeals were dismissed and the entries remained on the list.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Hermes Property Unit Trust, represented.
