From the tribunal's reasons on the amount

Offence. … The Respondent’s solicitor’s letter dated 11 October 2024 clearly demonstrates that whilst some works were carried out by the compliance date of 10 September 2022, other works were carried out after that date. … Documentary evidence refers to other works carried out after the compliance date. On 3 July 2023, repair works were carried out to the front and back door but not to a satisfactory standard to the back door; on 16 August 2023 the bathroom ceiling was painted after a partial repair. … We acknowledged the Respondent’s admission, in her supplementary witness statement, that works were still being carried out in early 2025. … Defence. … The Respondent’s evidence was that she had had mental health problems since 2015 arising from work related stress. She had retired in 2015 as a result. … We noted a GP letter dated 24 June 2025 which was very sparse but which confirmed the Respondent’s medical condition from November 2022 and detailed the medical input provided, but did not state when such input took place. … We note that the GP letter refers to November 2022, which is after the compliance date of 10 September 2022, but accept that with such medical conditions, it takes a while to recognize deterioration and accept the need to seek medical attention. …
