Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice is sufficiently precise and certain to enable the recipient to know what is required to be done

What decided it

The enforcement notice is vague, confusing and uncertain, failing to meet the statutory requirement that recipients know what they are required to do from the four corners of the notice itself.
