From the tribunal's reasons on the amount

for the omission, the Tribunal declined to permit the Applicants to rely upon those allegations or introduce evidence of them. … The Hearing. The Tribunal checked that all parties had the same copies of the bundle and documents before the hearing started. … The Tribunal Judge indicated at the outset the following issues arose: a. … If any of the above were established, should the Tribunal exercise its discretion to make an RRO. c. If so what should the amount of the RRO be (by reference to any offence or offences found to have been committed) taking into account: (a)the conduct of the landlord and the tenant, (b)the financial circumstances of the landlord, and (c)whether the landlord has been convicted of an offence. Inspection. None of the parties contended the Tribunal needed to inspect the premises. The Tribunal considered an inspection was not proportionate or necessary to determine the issues. Was the offence under section 72(1) of 2004 Act committed by the Respondent? … The Respondent was informed at the outset that she did not need to give evidence about whether the circumstances gave rise to this offence. She was told she could confine her evidence to the issue of quantum of any RRO and simply comment upon the evidence produced by the Applicants. The Respondent chose to give evidence about all issues. …
