What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant company challenged completion notices served by the billing authority on 2 October 2024, proposing completion dates of 9 October 2024, arguing the warehouse units were not complete and could not be completed by those dates. The tribunal found the properties lacked essential fixtures including small power distribution, warehouse lighting, data cabling, and other features necessary for occupation, applying the principle that a building must be 'ready for occupation' to be complete. The tribunal determined that reasonable completion dates should be 2 January 2025 for Units 1 and 2, and 2 April 2025 for Unit 3, allowing three and six months respectively from service for the remaining work to be completed.
