HAV/00ML/LDC/2026/0022 · dispensation from consultation · Brighton and Hove · decided 24 Aug 2026

The Tribunal granted the landlord dispensation from the statutory consultation requirements for urgent roof repairs, scaffolding and fire safety works, so the statutory cap on recovery does not apply, because the leaseholder who objected did not show real prejudice from the lack of consultation.
