116 Formal irregularities or defects in notices
A non-disturbance notice, improvement notice or prohibition notice is not invalid merely because of—
(a) a formal defect or irregularity in the notice unless the defect or irregularity causes or is likely to cause substantial injustice; or
(b) a failure to use the correct name of the person to whom the notice is issued if the notice sufficiently identifies the person and is issued to the person in accordance with section 115.
