From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
He said the first person he had spoken to was an administrator, that the Council had problems with their licensing team and that junior members of staff had often given information which was wrong. … He also acknowledged that the (draft) current HMO licence for the Property is expressed as having been granted with effect from 25 August 2020 (the date of his application), expiring on 24 August 2021. He said he had raised this with the Council and they had asked him to inform their processing team that the actual licence would need to be issued from 4 June 2020. He said that, when this issue came to light in August 2020 he had looked at the Council’s website and he had seen “for the first time” the page stating that their HMO licences will run for one year from the date of grant. Conclusions. For the purposes of these proceedings, we are satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the Property was not licensed for the relevant period (from 1 October 2019 until 19 August 2020), as explained below. … The licence documents, the licensing register and the formal letters from the Council all confirm that the licence expired on 30 September 2019. … We are satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that these e-mails, sent months after the licence had already expired, are not determinations under the licence. …
