From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
said section of the 1977 Act. … If it is the Applicant’s contention that the Respondent instituted County Court proceedings in the knowledge that she was not entitled to a possession order and as such acted unlawfully in attempting to obtain possession of the Property, that is not accepted. By instituting proceedings in the County Court to obtain a possession order the Respondent conversely acted lawfully. She was seeking possession of the Property by lawful means. If she is unsuccessful in that process for whatever reason that is a matter for the court. … On the basis of the evidence before the tribunal the Applicants have failed to satisfy it beyond reasonable doubt that the Respondent carried out acts likely to interfere with the Applicants peace or comfort of the Property. Attendance at the Property by the Respondent and/or her husband for the purpose of carrying out works of repair or maintenance or to inspect such works (or attending on an unannounced basis such as the ‘introductory visit’) did not in the view of the tribunal interfere with the Applicants peace or comfort of the Property or that of their household. Nor, in the view of the Tribunal is there any evidence before it sufficient to satisfy it that the Respondent by attending at the Property or by any other action acted with the intent of causing the Applicants to give up possession. …
