figures not yet checked

The tribunal found that the landlord's obligation to insure the building passed to the RTM company when it acquired the right to manage, so leaseholders cannot be charged for insurance arising after that date, and ordered the landlord to refund the tribunal fees of £114 after it was debarred from defending the application.
