figures not yet checked

The tribunal found the service charge demands non-compliant so nothing is payable until they are reserved, and if reserved it disallowed the accounts fee, the sinking fund and parts of the management fee, cleaning, gardening and maintenance charges, and made a section 20C order protecting the leaseholders from the landlord's litigation costs.

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.
