Conclusions

Conclusion

17.

The consequence of the setting aside the FTT’s finding about Doris Anyanwu is that only four people have been found to be occupying the property as their only or main residence on 7 July 2022, and therefore the finding that the appellant was committing the offence created by section 72(1) of the Housing Act 2004 cannot stand and no financial penalty can be imposed upon him. The FTT’s decision imposing the financial penalty is set aside.

Right of appeal

Any party has a right of appeal to the Court of Appeal on any point of law arising from this decision. The right of appeal may be exercised only with permission. An application for permission to appeal to the Court of Appeal must be sent or delivered to the Tribunal so that it is received within 1 month after the date on which this decision is sent to the parties (unless an application for costs is made within 14 days of the decision being sent to the parties, in which case an application for permission to appeal must be made within 1 month of the date on which the Tribunal’s decision on costs is sent to the parties). An application for permission to appeal must identify the decision of the Tribunal to which it relates, identify the alleged error or errors of law in the decision, and state the result the party making the application is seeking. If the Tribunal refuses permission to appeal a further application may then be made to the Court of Appeal for permission.
