From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Tribunal considers the dispute irrelevant to the determination of the particular application. … The Tribunal was not satisfied that the incident occurred. The Applicant had not referred to the alleged push at any previous time during the proceedings. … The Respondent accepted seeing one occupier, who was asleep in bed but asserted it to be apparent that only 2 people occupied. The Applicant also asserted that he had made a recording of the alleged incident. … The Tribunal finds that the Respondent served those Notices not to harass or intimidate the Applicant, whether because of the Applicant subletting or not, but rather because the Respondent did seek possession of the Property, which the Respondent was entitled to do in light of the rent arrears found by the County Court and so cannot amount to an offence. … The County Court found that there were rent arrears. … The Tribunal should record that the Applicant complained that the Respondent had written to other occupiers stating that possession action was being taken against the Applicant and that was defamatory. The fact of the Respondent’s representative so writing a letter was not in dispute. The point was dealt with very briefly by the parties. The Tribunal finds that whilst a letter was written, that is entirely common in possession cases and understandable where the Applicant asserted that others occupied the Property. …
