Description

The matter for determination is whether the authority's decision to decline to issue a code compliance certificate for a 6-year-old house is correct. The refusal arose because the building work had been undertaken under the supervision of Nationwide Building Certifiers ('the building certifier') which was duly registered as a building certifier under the former Building Act 1991, but which lost its approval as a building certifier before it had issued a code compliance certificate for the building work.
