Description

This is a determination of a dispute referred to the Chief Executive of the Department of Building and Housing under section 17 of the Building Act 1991 as amended by section 424 of the Building Act1 2004. The applicant is one of the previous joint-owners and the other party is the Franklin District Council . During the course of the determination the property was sold and the new owner was added as a party on 6 March 2006. The previous joint-owner requested that [the new owner] should now be replaced on all matters relating to the determination. The application arises from the refusal by the territorial authority to issue a code compliance certificate for a 4-year old house unless changes are made to its monolithic cladding system.
