Key passages (verbatim)
“the Tribunal awards the Applicant judgement in the sum of £18,842.87 payable by 28 days from service of this decision.”
“The Tribunal accepted this evidence and found the cost for this item of work to be reasonable. Furthermore, the Respondent had not provided any evidence to demonstrate that the final cost was unreasonable.”
“The Tribunal, therefore, found that this work had been carried out by the Applicant and the cost was reasonable.”
“the Respondent did not appear to dispute the amount and, indeed, on 10 January 2020 it was paid on her behalf. Therefore, the remaining claim only concerned the major works costs.”
“the Tribunal noted in paragraph (1) of its Directions order dated 5 November 2019 that the lease does not make provision for contractual costs to be recovered.”
