Description

The application for determination arises from a dispute between the parties regarding the authority's decision to refuse to issue a code compliance certificate for a multi-storey building (the building). The authority's decision was on the grounds that insufficient inspections had been carried out and as a consequence the authority could not be satisfied as to compliance of the building work with certain clauses of the Building Code. The matter to be determined is whether the authority correctly exercised its powers in refusing to issue a code compliance certificate for building work carried out under building consent 178711.
