Key passages (verbatim)
“The Respondent had conceded that £6,031.57 is not payable by the Applicant, as this is a debt from the previous leaseholder.”
“The sinking fund contributions of £3,686.95 for the years 2016/17 to 2023/24 are reasonable and payable.”
“Though, the Respondent had said they would credit the £6031.57, by the time of the hearing they had not done so and it was only the afternoon before the hearing that they concede that there was no legal basis for this debt to be transferred to the Applicant.”
