From the tribunal's reasons on the amount

to interfere with his peace or comfort. … The one aspect of this case which does cause more concern is the statement in the text message of 19 September 2023 that the utilities would be cut off before the new tenants moved in on 25 September. In the Tribunal’s view that message must be seen in the context of the fact that the First Applicant had already made it clear to the Respondent that he was aware of his rights, the fact that he immediately replied, warning the Respondent that to do so would be illegal, and the fact that there is no evidence that this threat was ever repeated or acted upon. … The question for the Tribunal was whether this one text, when taking in context and bearing in mind the other steps taken by the Respondent to seek to persuade the First Applicant to leave, was enough to amount to conduct likely to interfere with the First Applicant’s peace or comfort. Had the Tribunal been satisfied that this threat had been repeated, especially if it were repeated after the Respondent was warned that to cut off the utilities would be illegal, then it would probably have been satisfied that the offence was made out. However, the evidence does not go that far. Rather, once the Respondent is told that to cut off the utilities would be illegal, they immediately change tack and no further mention is made of this. …
