What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant company appealed completion notices served by the billing authority on 1 August 2024, contending that nine industrial units with offices could not be completed by the proposed date of 12 August 2024. The tribunal found the units were not complete at the date of service, as they were at 'stair core' standard lacking lighting, communications, and other fixtures, and accepted evidence that similar units required approximately four and a half months to complete. The tribunal determined that a reasonable completion date, taking into account the smaller size of the subject properties and their simpler finish, was 1 November 2024, amending the completion dates accordingly.
