What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged completion notices served by the billing authority proposing 1 January 2025 as the completion date for two new warehouse/office units. The appellant argued the notices did not allow sufficient time for remaining works (power distribution, heating, racking, fitting out) to be completed from the practical completion date of 28 October 2024, proposing 11 February 2025 and 31 March 2025 respectively. The tribunal allowed the appeal for the smaller unit (100 Frimley) and allowed in part for the larger unit (500 Frimley), finding that approximately three months plus two weeks for the Christmas period was required for fitting out works, fixing the completion dates at 11 February 2025 and 11 March 2025 respectively.
