What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged completion notices served by the billing authority proposing a completion date of 16 December 2024 for three floors of serviced offices being refurbished. The appellant contended that discovery of disturbed asbestos required specialist removal work taking approximately seven weeks, after which a further three-month programme of refurbishment works would be needed. The tribunal found that the presence of asbestos material changed the normal scope of works and made the original completion date unreasonable. The appeal was allowed and the completion date was amended to 5 May 2025 to allow for the asbestos remediation and subsequent fit-out works.
