From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
of any rent repayment order, including providing information on their financial circumstances, in support of the deduction they sought under S44(4) of Act 81. … Decision. In making this decision we have had regard to the bundle, skeleton arguments, binder of authorities and final submissions provided by both parties. … We must comment that we do have real concerns as to the way matters were conducted. … The Tribunal had explained it would provide an interpreter if required with such correspondence copied to the representative for the Applicants. … At no point prior to the hearing did the Applicants or their representative make any application for any reasonable adjustment. … This Tribunal does consider it incumbent upon professional representatives to ensure that if a party will require an interpreter they notify the Tribunal at the earliest opportunity. In these proceedings, given the findings that we are required to make, it will never be satisfactory for a related party to translate. … We also comment that people appearing, particularly as witnesses, should be in a place where the Tribunal is satisfied that they cannot be overheard or there are other people who may affect the giving of evidence. A party being in a moving vehicle is unacceptable. …
