Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice is valid and sufficiently clear in specifying the steps required for compliance

What decided it

The enforcement notice contains an internal contradiction between the alleged breach and the compliance requirement that cannot be corrected without causing injustice to the appellant, rendering it invalid.
