From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
33 The Applicants also revisited the question of the level of any awards should rent repayment orders be made. … Accordingly, the Applicants requested the Tribunal to refuse to deduct those costs from any rent repayment orders that may be made. … The Applicants also reiterated that should the Tribunal decide to make rent repayment orders in this case, the award should reflect, inter alia, the Respondent’s licensing conduct (see above, paragraphs 27 and 30) where, in their opinion, it has ‘consistently failed to license many of its properties, including the subject property, despite ample warning and awareness of the issue’, and the finding against it by the First-tier Tribunal in North Lodge. … Further, the Applicants rejected any notion that, in the context of the offences listed in section 44(2), licensing offences are not the most serious of those offences. … The skeleton argument listed the correspondence in chronological order and included, inter alia, a reference in a letter from the Council dated 24 February 2023 to the unsatisfactory condition of the electrical installation and for the need for remedial works. … Respondent 35 The Respondent confirmed that the Property is located in purpose-built student accommodation, namely Queens Park House and added that Queens Park House provides accommodation for 464 students arranged in cluster flats. …
