What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant company challenged completion notices served on 1 December 2025 with a completion date of 1 January 2026, arguing that fire suppression system installation (requiring 15 weeks) would prevent completion by that date. The tribunal found the properties were structurally complete and the fire suppression system was not part of the building's construction but rather tenant fit-out. Accounting for Christmas and New Year holidays affecting tradespeople, the tribunal determined that one month was unrealistic and extended the completion date to 1 February 2026.
