That there was no suggestion of violence on the Respondent’s part to secure entry. That the allegations of harassment were disputed. … That in the circumstances that in itself should be sufficient to provide doubt as to whether harassment took place.

As such the application should be dismissed. … The Tribunal’s Decision. … The burden is on the Applicants to prove to the criminal standard that the Respondent is guilty of an offence as alleged.
