From the tribunal's valuation
The tribunal accepts that the notice of increase is a valid notice. … If it considers that a notice is invalid, it may decline to proceed until the question has been determined by the court. Conversely, if it considers that a notice is valid and that objections are without substance, it may proceed to determine the appropriate rent, but its determination will not prevent a tenant from disputing the validity of the notice. … She therefore took the risk that the notice might be held to be valid, in which case the new rent of £100 per week would have taken effect pursuant to section 13(4). But her failure to refer the notice to the committee did not deprive the court of jurisdiction to determine the validity of the notice.” 15. The tribunal takes the view that it cannot make a decision on the issue of the validity of the notice which is binding for all purposes. However, it is entitled to decide whether it is satisfied, on balance, that the legal and factual matrix forming the background to the application demonstrates that it has jurisdiction. … With the exception of the last 5 properties in the list, the Tribunal considers the comparables provided by the Landlord are representative of the market. …
