From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
which the Tribunal can potentially order to be re-paid is £3,075. … Under the 2004 Act, section 74(4) provided that where there has not been a conviction the Tribunal shall order such amount as it considers reasonable in the circumstances. … Whilst sections 44 and 45 of the 2016 Act do not include the word “reasonable”, given the similarities between these provisions and the relevant provisions of the 2004 Act, the Tribunal considers that the guidance provided in these Upper Tribunal decisions remains relevant under the 2016 Act. … Accordingly, the Tribunal has proceeded (with the applicants’ agreement) on the basis that (i) there is no presumption that there will be a 100% refund of payments made and (ii) the benefit obtained by the tenants in having had the accommodation is not a material consideration. Submissions were invited from the applicants who agreed that these principles should be applied. … The Tribunal heard extensive oral evidence from the applicants. The Tribunal found both of the applicants to be very credible witnesses who gave carefully considered, clear and straightforward evidence. The Tribunal accepts the entirety of the applicants’ evidence and will summarise the aspects of that evidence upon which it has placed reliance below. …
