From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
involved. The amount claimed was £12,497.81. The tribunal was satisfied with the paper based evidence as to the rental payments. However, the Tribunal, amongst other matters, took into account the nature of the property and the conduct of the parties when considering what is reasonable. The tribunal calculated that approximately 90% of the sum claimed amounted to £11,000.00. It is this amount that the tribunal considers reasonable and is to be the amount of the rent repayment order. The respondent is also ordered to refund to the applicant the application fee of £100 and the hearing fee of £200. The rent repayment and the fees refunds are to be paid by the respondent to the applicant within 28 days of the date of this decision. … Because of the late submission of evidence the applicant said that additional time was required to consider and respond to the respondent’s late evidence. This was said to necessitate extra time namely 8 hours charged at £165 per hour for the type of legal representative involved. The respondent was then able to respond to this costs claim and explained that the respondent’s response was delayed by a member of staff being away from the office on maternity leave and that the paperwork was eventually submitted and that it would be wrong to have to pay costs as the documentation had been provided. …
