figures not yet checkedThe tribunal found nothing payable for the 2018-19 and 2019-20 service charges because the demands were invalid, since no reasonable estimate was made and they were not made in time, so the related administration charges are not recoverable; it also ordered a refund of the application fees and made a section 20C order.
