Key passages (verbatim)
“security services, in the sum of £408,384 … The following costs were reasonably incurred by the Applicant and are payable by the Respondent in respect of the 2021 service charge year”
“balcony repairs, in the sum of £25,740 … The following costs were reasonably incurred by the Applicant and are payable by the Respondent”
“Although the Unsigned Agreement refers to WSL providing security officers with a contract of employment and terms and conditions, that is not incompatible with those officers being direct employees of the Applicant company rather than WSL. It would have been helpful if a sample contract had been included in the bundle before us, but we nevertheless see no reason to doubt Mr Florence's oral evidence, given under cross-examination.”
