From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
reduction from that amount, or a combination of both, is appropriate in all the circumstances, bearing in mind the purpose of the legislative provisions. A tribunal must have particular regard to the conduct of both parties (which includes the seriousness of the offence committed), the financial circumstances of the landlord and whether the landlord has at any time been convicted of a relevant offence. The tribunal should also take into account any other factors that appear to be relevant. … The current Tribunal finds it difficult to follow this reasoning. … Levels of fines for criminal offences are set relative to statutory maxima which define the limit of the due sanction and the fine for each offender is modulated on a spectrum of which that limit defines one end – effectively the maximum fine is reserved for the most serious cases. In this way, the courts ensure that there is consistency in the amount of any fine – each person convicted will receive a fine at around the same level as someone who committed a similar offence in similar circumstances. … However, an RRO is not a fixed amount. The maximum RRO is set by the rent the tenant happened to pay. …
