From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
the purposes of section 72(5) of the 2004 Act. … As to the allegation of unlawful eviction, the Tribunal is satisfied that the Respondent committed such an offence on 16 March 2021. He accepted that he did not give the month’s notice which the parties had agreed. He did not advance any case that he believed and had reasonable cause to believe the Applicant had given up occupation. … The Tribunal is not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt as to any offence under s.1(3) or (3A) of that Act.

The offence related to housing that, at the time of the offence, was let to the tenant. For the reasons already given under the first issue, the Tribunal finds this matter satisfied beyond reasonable doubt. …
