What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant company appealed completion notices served by the billing authority with completion dates of 12 August 2024, arguing the industrial units with offices above could not be completed by that date. The tribunal found the units were not complete (missing lighting, communications, racking, heating, and facilities) but could reasonably be expected to be completed within three months of service. The tribunal substituted the completion date from 12 August 2024 to 1 November 2024, allowing three months from the date of service as permitted by statute.
