From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Under the financial penalty regime, the Respondent, in the event of an offence having been committed, has available to it an amount of up to £30,00.00 that it can impose as a penalty for each offence. … Those factors are set out above. … Tribunals should also have particular regard to the LHA policy and apply it as if standing in its shoes. … If the authority has applied its own policy, the tribunal should give weight to the assessment it has made of the seriousness of the offence and the culpability of the appellant in reaching its own decision.” (paragraph 245) 42. It went on to say the tribunal should consider whether it had applied its policy in a way which imposed disproportionate penalties without proper consideration of the facts. … The tribunal must be mindful of the fact that it is conducting a rehearing, not a review and must use its own judgment and so can vary such a decision where it disagrees with it, despite having given it that special weight. The tribunal must look at the objectives of the policy and ask itself whether those objectives will be met if the policy is not followed. … It has followed its own policy and imposed proportionate penalties. However, as this is a rehearing we have taken into account the additional evidence and applied the policy to the totality of the evidence. We have also taken into account proportionality. …
