From the tribunal's reasons on the amount

to licence the property. … It has been fully adapted for people with special needs and is rented to the local authority. The other share of the property is owned by the Second Respondent. The property is not mortgaged and is worth in the region of £400,000. The First Respondent’s evidence to the Tribunal was that she intended to sell that property. She also owns the property in which she lives, but this is mortgaged, as is the property occupied by the Applicants. She is not working. … On the basis of this evidence the Tribunal is satisfied that the Respondents have more than sufficient means to pay any sum ordered to be paid by the Tribunal. … Taking all the matters set out above into account, the Tribunal is satisfied that there is no basis for deducting any amounts from the maximum amount which the Tribunal may order. It therefore decides to make a rent repayment order for the benefit of the Applicants in the sum of £11,012. … There were no other applications before the Tribunal. Tribunal Judge S.J.
