78 Meakin Estate, Rothsay Street, London, SE1 4QL
LON/00BE/LSC/2025/1119 · service charges · Southwark · decided 21 May 2026
The tribunal found that only £559.38 of the major works charges for 2018-2019 is payable, because the first four invoices were statute-barred under section 20B and the remaining charges were limited to the amount the council itself calculated, and the council must refund the fees paid by the leaseholder.
