From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
mitigation, but not a defence. The offence is one that continues until such time as the application is complete and can be processed by the council. 28 The Tribunal then moves on to consider whether an order should be made. It has taken into account all matters raised by the parties and considers these to be the most pertinent: (1) If a relevant offence has been committed the Applicants are entitled to make application for an order. (2) The Tribunal has a very wide discretion as to whether it should make an order, and if so for what amount. (3) The property was required to be licensed from 6th September. The Applicants took up occupancy of a property that needed to be licensed, but was not. (4) The culpability, noted above, on the part of the Respondent was limited in that it made application and remedied any defect in the application with reasonable haste, once the defects in the application were brought to its attention. (5) There appear to be only very limited issues raised in relation to the standard of accommodation provided and which the Applicants enjoyed, licensed, or not, for the whole of the tenancy. (6) That would appear to be borne out by the very limited requirements imposed upon the Respondents to secure a licence following the licensing application. …
