figures not yet checked

The tribunal allowed most of the disputed service charge items for 2018 to 2021 but disallowed or reduced others, including building manager, bank charges, security, professional fees and reserve fund costs, and it made orders under section 20C and paragraph 5A so the landlord cannot recover its tribunal costs through 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.
