the operator successfully appeals against the stop notice and the First-tier Tribunal finds that the service of the notice was unreasonable; or

(c)

the operator successfully appeals against the refusal of a completion certificate and the Tribunal finds that the refusal was unreasonable.

(2)

A person may appeal against a decision not to award compensation or the amount of compensation—
