From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
The Tribunal’s Directions require the parties to provide details of any universal credit/housing benefit paid to the Applicant. No party asserts that the Applicant was in receipt of universal credit/housing benefit during the applicable period. The Tribunal is therefore satisfied that the maximum amount of the RRO is £11,313.78. The amount of the RRO in the present case. The Tribunal notes that the conditions set out in section 46 of the 2016 Act (which provides that, in certain circumstances, the amount of a rent repayment order is to be the maximum that the Tribunal has power to make) are not met. … These decisions concern the amount of a rent repayment order under the provisions of the 2004 Act which apply when a relevant offence started to be committed before 6 April 2017. … Accordingly, the Tribunal has proceeded on the basis that (i) there is no presumption that there will be a 100% refund of payments made, (ii) the benefit obtained by the tenant in having had the accommodation is not a material consideration (iii) the Tribunal has a general discretion which must be exercised judicially and (iv) the net benefit received by the landlord from the letting is a material consideration. … The Respondents have not sought to engage with these proceedings and have provided no evidence. …
