From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The decision to make a RRO award is therefore discretionary. However, because the offence was established the Tribunal found no reason why it should not make an RRO in the circumstances of this application. … The Applicants produced bank statements to show that these payments were made and the Tribunal accepts this evidence. … When determining the amount of a RRO, the Tribunal has a discretion whether or not to make a deduction for utility payments. … It was accepted by both parties that the Respondent made payments for utilities. In his witness statement the Respondent confirmed that he had paid £30 per month for broadband. The Respondent did not provide any additional evidence as to the cost of utilities. … The Applicants included within their bundle letters from utility companies showing unpaid amounts. Despite this, the Tribunal continues to make a deduction for utility payments because the liability to pay these amounts rested with the Respondent. … The Tribunal used its expertise and has found that utility payments for a three bedroom flat occupied by three people would be approximately £2,100 per year, which equates to £700 per person per year. … The Tribunal had to consider the seriousness of the offence compared to other types of offences for which a RRO could be made, and also as compared to other examples of the same offence. …
