DECISION

[11]I am satisfied that it was necessary to commence works without the inevitable delay of carrying out Section 20 consultations. No objection has been received from any of the lessees and no evidence of the type of prejudice referred to in paragraph 7 above has been identified.[12]In accordance with the above the Tribunal grants dispensation from the consultation requirements of S.20 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 for repairs to the supports to the overhanging roof.[13]In granting dispensation, the Tribunal makes no determination as to whether any service charge costs are reasonable or payable. D Banfield FRICS 3 October 2019[1]A person wishing to appeal this decision to the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber) must seek permission to do so by making written application to the First-tier Tribunal at the Regional office, which has been dealing with the case. The application must arrive at the Tribunal within 28 days after the Tribunal sends to the person making the application written reasons for the decision.[2]If the person wishing to appeal does not comply with the 28-day time limit, the person shall include with the application for permission to appeal a request for an extension of time and the reason for not complying with the 28-day time limit; the Tribunal will then decide whether to extend time or not to allow the application for permission to appeal to proceed.[3]The application for permission to appeal must identify the decision of the Tribunal to which it relates, state the grounds of appeal and state the result the party making the appeal is seeking.
