Key passages (verbatim)
“for 2024, £1,500 payable immediately for roof repair works”
“for 2025, £900 … as a contribution to a sinking/reserve fund towards the costs of repairing the building”
“for 2026, £900 … as a contribution to a sinking/reserve fund towards the costs of repairing the building”
“the parties sent excessive volumes of piecemeal/unclear correspondence and queries over time, but variously failed to comply with directions.”
“The Respondent seemed to have attempted to fend them off, asking many piecemeal questions over time and making no apparent effort to pay anything to anyone or propose any solutions.”
“Her question about the payee was raised only late in the process and was answered in the Applicant's case documents, but the Respondent did nothing about this until the hearing.”
“It seems the charges for the roof repair costs incurred (and to seek to mitigate the likely future bills for the building repair costs which will be incurred) ought to have been paid without any need for these proceedings.”
