From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
conduct of both landlord and tenant, the landlord’s financial circumstances and whether the landlord has been prosecuted. … There is no evidence to demonstrate that the landlord has been prosecuted. … The Tribunal find that the claim of excess cold in the flat is not made out. This is because of the lack of evidence to challenge the respondent’s energy efficiency certificate which demonstrates adequate energy efficiency. The Tribunal does not doubt that the applicants felt cold in the flat, but the evidence does not support that it was uninhabitable. … The Tribunal found the respondent’s witness evidence in response to these allegations to be at best confused. … In relation to the Respondent’s financial circumstances, the Tribunal had the benefit of the respondent’s unaudited financial statements for the year ended 31/10/2022 [R/32]. The abridged balance sheet confirms “cash at bank” £29,255; and “total assets less current liabilities” to be £5,812,366 [R/35]. The respondent asked that if an order was made against them, it be by way of instalments. The evidence provided did not indicate to the Tribunal that the respondent was in financial difficulty, and therefore the request for payment of the order by instalments is refused and no deductions are made for financial difficulties. …
