(a)the enforcement notice is quashed on grounds other than those mentioned in section 143(3)(a);

(b)in the case of a claimant who was required to provide information under section 133 or 240 in respect of any loss or damage suffered by the claimant which could have been avoided if he or she had provided the information or had otherwise co-operated with the council or, as the case may be, the Department when responding to the notice.

(6) Any question of disputed compensation under this section shall be determined by the Lands Tribunal.
