Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice is valid and certain in its terms

What decided it

The enforcement notice was fatally ambiguous in failing to clearly identify which of two flues shown in the photographs constituted the breach and which must be removed, rendering it a nullity.
