We wrote round to Applicants on 06/09/2023 with the following
information message:
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
Tenants' grounds for resisting the application to appeal
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."
