warrant (for example is for one house in a development of several
dwellings that were subject to a single warrant) an address
identifying the work covered by the submission must be supplied.
3 Where a certificate from an approved certifier of design includes
details yet to be designed, the Notification of Finalisation of

and approved body and forwarded to the verifier.
4 Any applicant aggrieved by the decision of a verifier to reject a
completion certificate may, by summary application made within
21 days of the date of the decision, appeal to the sheriff. If a
verifier has not determined this submission within 14 days from
the date of receipt by the verifier of the certificate, the submission
is deemed rejected and an appeal may be made to the sheriff in
the same way and subject to the same timescale.
