What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant disputed the completion notices served on 2 October 2024, which proposed completion dates of 9 October 2024, arguing that the warehouse units with offices were not substantially complete as they lacked small power distribution, lighting, air conditioning, data cabling, racking and welfare facilities. The Tribunal, applying case law that buildings must be ready for occupation to be hereditaments, found that the subject properties could not reasonably be completed within the statutory three-month period and amended the completion dates to 2 January 2025 for Units 1 & 2 and 2 April 2025 for Unit 3, allowing adequate time for the outstanding works.
