4 of 6ended with some charge reduced or not payabletoo few for a percentage

Items most often disallowed or reduced here: utilities (3), management fees (3), administration charges (2), legal and professional fees (2), other (2).

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 Withdrawn and procedural decisions, dispensation, manager, right-to-manage and breach-of-lease cases are listed but not counted in that share.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" (1 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.
