CAM/00MC/LSC/2019/0062 · service charges · Reading · decided 14 Feb 2020

figures not yet checked

The tribunal found that the House Manager cover costs were not reasonably incurred because the landlord gave no prior notice under the lease, so only £22,963 of the £41,347 charged is payable, and landlord costs of the application are barred from the service charge.

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.
