[2023] UKUT 139 (LC)

This is an appeal by the London Borough of Waltham Forest against a financial penalty imposed by the First-tier Tribunal on the respondent Mr Adil Rahman in respect of a failure to licence rented property. The appellant says that as a result of evidence given by the appellant at the hearing before the FTT the penalty imposed should, in line with the appellant’s enforcement policy, have been higher.

The appellant was represented in the appeal by Mr Riccardo Calzavara of counsel and the respondent by Mr Arfan Rahman, and I am grateful to them both.
