CHI/43UB/LSC/2022/0074 · service charges · Elmbridge · decided 1 Feb 2023
The tribunal found the leaseholder liable for one third of the building costs and half of the common parts costs, but held the landlords had not complied with demand requirements so no sum was payable until they do, and ordered the respondents to repay the £300 tribunal fee and barred recovery of their costs through the service charge.
