From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
payment order, but for the reasons given below, it is unnecessary to set these out here. … The Tribunal will first comment on the oral evidence in general. It does not appear that English was the first language of any of the three wit- nesses who gave oral evidence. a. … The main difficulty with his evidence about these events was a lack of detail about the dates and times of events, and that there was no documentary evidence at all to support his allega- tions. … The Respondent’s oral evidence presented confidently, although some of his an- swers lacked any real conviction (particularly his explanation about the references). Again, his oral evidence lacked any detail of dates etc., and lacked any supporting documentation. Overall, the Tribunal therefore approaches the evidence of all three wit- nesses with a degree of caution. … On the issues of fact which bear upon its decision, the Tribunal finds as follows: a. The Respondent was aware of the configuration of the propoerty at the date of the letting. It effectively included three double bed- rooms and two single rooms. It was of enough size to accommo- date up to eight persons – or six with a living room. b. … The Tribunal finds that none of the parties considered the contents (and clause 4 or Part A) with any degree of care. …
