36 Mornington Terrace London NW1 7RS LON/00AG/LVM/2023/0015
DECISION
[1]The final hearing in this matter was listed to take place on 9 February 2023 at 10 Alfred Place, London WC1E 7LR.[2]The hearing was attended by the Applicant, Mr Kingsley, accompanied by Ms Dehar, the Property Manager. The hearing was also attended by Francesca Campagnoli and David Jenkins, who are currently lessees.[3]Ms Campangoli and Mr Jenkins informed the Tribunal that they anticipate that they will purchase the freehold on 1 March 2024. It was therefore agreed that the final hearing of this application will be postponed in order to enable the proposed purchase to take place.[4]The Applicant indicated that, if the lessees purchase the freehold, he might agree that the management order should be discharged.[5]The Tribunal held a hearing today. The landlord, Ms Hutchinson (now Ms Dale) did not attend. Neither did the applicant. Instead three lessees, Ms Campagnoli, Mr Jenkins and Mr Jacobs, attended.[6]They explained that the purchase of the freehold had been completed on 16th April 2024. The freeholder was now 36 Mornington Terrace Freehold Co Ltd, a tenant-owned company. In consequence there was no need to continue the appointment of the applicant, Mr Martin Kingsley. ORDER[1]The application by the Tribunal-appointed manager is dismissed.[2]No order for costs Name: Judge Adrian Jack Date: 24th April 2024 NOTES (a) Whenever you send a letter or email to the tribunal you must also send a copy to the other parties and note this on the letter or email. Rights of appeal By rule 36(2) of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Property Chamber) Rules 2013, the tribunal is required to notify the parties about any right of appeal they may have. If a party wishes to appeal this decision to the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber), then a written application for permission must be made to the First-tier Tribunal at the regional office which has been dealing with the case. The application for permission to appeal must arrive at the regional office within 28 days after the tribunal sends written reasons for the decision to the person making the application. If the application is not made within the 28 day time limit, such application must include a request for an extension of time and the reason for not complying with the 28 day time limit; the tribunal will then look at such reason(s) and decide whether to allow the application for permission to appeal to proceed, despite not being within the time limit. The application for permission to appeal must identify the decision of the tribunal to which it relates (i.e. give the date, the property and the case number), state the grounds of appeal and state the result the party making the application is seeking. If the tribunal refuses to grant permission to appeal, a further application for permission may be made to the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber).
