update email re Unite appeal and stays

Here are some of the files referred to in the message:

FtT's Decision to Refuse the appeal by UNITE

UNITE's Grounds of Appeal to Upper Tribunal

Upper Tribunal's Decision to allow the appeal by UNITE

Tenants' Response form with Application and Grounds for Cross-Appeal

Refusal by UT to grant an appeal on a similar ground in another case:

"The applicant's suggested lack of knowledge of the need to obtain a licence was a negative, rather than a positive consideration, as it is clearly a commercial landlord which can be expected to make proper enquiries."
