LON/00AS/LDC/2024/0178 · dispensation from consultation · Hillingdon · decided 16 Jan 2025

figures not yet checked

The tribunal refused the landlord's dispensation from the consultation requirements for the 2017 major works, so only £500 per flat is recoverable, and it reduced the works cost by 20% for poor quality work, with an order preventing the landlord's tribunal costs being charged to leaseholders.

Read from the decision automatically: a regular-expression pass, then a language model whose every value must quote the decision word for word; the two readings disagreed on something, so these figures haven't been checked yet and are left out of the statistics. Compare with the original.
