From the tribunal's reasons on the amount
Section 43 of the 2016 Act provides that the Tribunal may make a rent repayment order if satisfied, beyond reasonable doubt, that the landlord has committed one of the offences specified in Section 40(3). … The Tribunal began with a general review of the papers in order to decide whether the case could dealt with properly without holding an oral hearing. Rule 31 of the Tribunal’s procedural rules permits a case to be dealt with in this manner provided that the parties give their consent (or do not object when a paper determination is proposed). … Neither of the parties requested an oral hearing, and having reviewed the papers, the Tribunal was satisfied that this matter is suitable to be determined without a hearing. The issues to be decided have been clearly identified in the papers enabling conclusions to be properly reached in respect of the issues to be determined, including any incidental issues of fact. … The documentation is persuasive in that it is clear and obvious evidence of its contents. Except where referred to, it has not been challenged and the Tribunal finds no reason to doubt the detail contained. … The Tribunal is also satisfied that the Council complied with all the necessary procedural requirements relating to the Notice of intended proceedings and the making of the Application. …
