What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought deletion of three industrial units from the 2010 rating list on the grounds that no valid completion notice had been served, as the notices dated 3 May 2016 were not received until 9 May 2016, making the completion date retrospective. The tribunal found there was substantial compliance with Schedule 4A requirements: the buildings were properly identified as new buildings following structural alteration, were complete apart from minor tenant-specific works, the purpose was clear, and any prejudice was minor. A statutory remedy was available through appeal under paragraph 4 of Schedule 4A. The tribunal dismissed the appeals, holding the notices were not invalid.
