From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
excuse. However, as the second notice arose out of a failure to complete action 6, a RRO can made in respect of this from the day that the Respondent was instructed to start, namely 14th November 2019 to the time when WDC took over the works, which according to the Applicant’s time line was 3rd February 2020. … Accordingly, during the hearing the parties (in effect) agreed the extent of default. … During the remainder of the hearing I heard from the First Applicant and the Respondent. The Applicants position was that he and his partner had been accommodating, and helpful, but been let down repeatedly by workmen not turning up, not respecting the premises, doing shoddy work and leaving their home (and the outside) in a mess. The First Applicant has health problems, which were not helped by their living conditions. … The First Applicant pointed to the Respondent’s comments, blaming them, as failing to take responsibility. Further, that the Respondent admitted to his letting agents that he should not have let the premises. … The Respondent had also found the whole experience stressful, caused by the Applicants endless emails (190 or so) and putting obstacles in the way of the workmen, to the point that there was a falling out with every single workman. …
