    Whether the link you showed refers to England or Scotland (and I can't be bothered to check), as I said earlier, it predates the Localism Act so is irrelevant.

    Ignore it..

    (and yes - EPCs are a complete waste of space/time. There are some regulations, which if ignored, LL's are deserving of retribution, but that is not one!)

    The EPC for my current home is laminated so I am currently using is as a mouse mat.

    Can you sue for non-protection through the small claims court? I thought it had to use a different track that had court costs of circa £1,000. I could be wrong though as I've not had my first cuppa of the day yet.

    Strictly speaking these claims should be made through the "Part 8" procedure which is fairly complex and expensive. However, there have been some reports of courts accepting them on the small claims track but I can't see anything concrete online, based on a quick search. Best to ask the local county court.
