The following broad categories of behaviour are alleged by the Applicants. … As to the alleged failure to obtain licences, the Respondent stated that 1500 + applications were individually uploaded to the local authority’s portal by March 2023, with the council requesting payment on 17 July 2023 and payment being made on 12 September 2023. … Further, the failure to obtain licences at other properties within the same timeframe does not amount to a repeat offence. Behaviour. … I note that, in identical circumstances involving the same Respondent, an FTT felt the appropriate percentage award was 50% and this was an award which the UT refused to revisit. … I am of course not bound by the FTT’s decision in the cases involving 201 & 601 North Lodge and am required to make my own assessment in these cases bearing in mind the principles laid down by the UT. … On the evidence before me, the failure to licence can be characterised as inadvertent (as opposed to deliberate). …
