From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
each RRO in relation to the Respondent’s conduct, as considered further below. … An award of damages in the county court is, with certain very limited exceptions, purely compensatory, making up for what the victim of the unlawful behaviour has lost as a result of that behaviour. An RRO is a penal sanction and whether the tenant receives an amount commensurate with any losses or an undeserved windfall is entirely irrelevant. … (b) The Respondent failed to provide any evidence of what the county court awarded for these events or why. Even if the Respondent was right in saying that an award of damages should be taken into account in the decision to award an RRO or the amount of an RRO, the Tribunal had no information on which to base any such decision. (c) The Tribunal understands that the parties settled the damages and injunction claims by agreement. If they had intended to cover the RRO application, they could have included words to that effect in their agreement. There is no evidence that the settlement included the RRO application or even that it was ever intended to. … The provisions of the 2016 Act are rather more hard-edged than those of the 2004 Act. … The landlord has to repay the rent, subject to considerations of conduct and his financial circumstances. … 43. …
