What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that outstanding works including data cabling, partitions, wiring, suspended ceilings, raised floors and an electric substation could not be completed by the 27 June 2022 completion date stated in the notice, and would require approximately 36 weeks from the notice date of 28 March 2022. The tribunal found that the works would take approximately 36 weeks to complete from the date of service and therefore could be completed by 31 December 2022, allowing the appeal in part and substituting the completion date accordingly.
