Paragraph 16 Compensation
The Secretary of State must compensate a person for loss suffered as the result of the service of a stop notice or the refusal of a completion certificate if a person has suffered loss as a result of the notice or refusal and—
a stop notice is subsequently withdrawn or amended by the Secretary of State because the decision to serve it was unreasonable or any step specified in the notice was unreasonable;
a person successfully appeals against the stop notice and the First-tier Tribunal finds that the service of the notice was unreasonable; or
a person successfully appeals against the refusal of a completion certificate and the First-tier Tribunal finds that the refusal was unreasonable.
A person may appeal against a decision not to award compensation or the amount of compensation on the grounds that—
the Secretary of State's decision was unreasonable;
the amount offered was based on incorrect facts;
the decision was wrong for any other reason.
