Description

The dispute for determination is whether the territorial authority's decision to decline to issue a code compliance certificate for a 6-year-old house because it was not satisfied that the monolithic cladding complied with clauses B2 Durability and E2 External Moisture of the Building Code is correct. The questions to be determined, therefore, are whether: (1) the monolithic wall cladding as installed to the external walls and columns of the building complies with the Building Code (see sections 177 and 188 of the Act); (2) all other elements incorporated in this building comply with clause B2 of the Building Code, considering the time when the house was constructed.
