From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
either up or down. … The Tribunal bears in mind that the Respondent has paid a financial penalty of £7,500 and has been incurring charges on an interest only mortgage. However, there are insufficient details before the Tribunal to indicate that the Respondent would suffer any financial hardship if a RRO is made or to warrant the amount being capped. In the circumstances, the Respondent’s financial circumstances are not found to be relevant. … As far as the Tribunal is aware, the Respondent does not have any such previous convictions. However, the Council imposed a financial penalty on him under section 249A of the 2004 Act demonstrating the seriousness of the matter. This is a relevant factor weighing against the Respondent. … The Tribunal finds it appropriate to make a reduction of 70% from the maximum amount that could be awarded after deduction of utility charges as discussed above. This results in a figure of £1,286.17. Conclusion. The Tribunal awards the Applicant a RRO in the sum of £1,286,17.
