What the tribunal decided here

73 decisions: dispensation from consultation 34, service charges 14, breach of lease 8, LIS 7, administration charges 3, variation of a management order 2, LVT 2, appointment of a manager 1, other 1, right to manage 1. 21 are service charge cases, 11 with a readable outcome.

about 45% ended with some charge reduced or not payable5 of 11 with a readable outcome

Dispensation applications (landlord-driven, never in the share above): 33, granted 31, refused 1.

Items most often disallowed or reduced here: legal and professional fees (3), major works (3), other (3), repairs and maintenance (1), management fees (1).

Past decisions are not a prediction. Each tribunal decides on the evidence in front of it.

How these figures are counted

"Readable outcome" means the decision states one of: payable as demanded, reduced, substantially reduced (more than a third off, as the decision's own figures show), not payable, or dismissed. Withdrawn and procedural decisions, dispensation, manager, right-to-manage and breach-of-lease cases are listed but not counted in that share. A section 20C order is counted only where the decision says it was made or refused; "not clear" means it was asked for but not decided in the document. Figures are as the decisions state them; nothing is added up. Decisions marked "figures not yet checked" (12 here: the regex and model readings disagreed on the outcome, the section 20C result or a total) are listed but left out of the counts.
