figures not yet checked

The tribunal and county court found the respondent liable only for £700 of unpaid service charge, insurance and administration charge, with most of the claimed service charges, insurance, ground rent and the administration charge found not payable because of limitation, lack of evidence or the change of freeholder, and the respondent ordered to pay 25 per cent of the applicant's 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.
