CHI/19UJ/LSC/2020/0026 · service charges · Dorset · decided 2 Feb 2021
The tribunal found the 2018 to 2020 service charges reasonable but, because the landlord breached his information and accounting obligations, only the insurance and electricity sums already supported by documents are payable now, and no costs of the proceedings are recoverable from the tenants.
