[2024] UKUT 431 (LC)

There is no point remitting the matter to the FTT since the Tribunal has the material the FTT needed in order to make a decision about the period 1 July 2021 to 31 December 2022, and so can substitute its own decision.

The breakdown of the costs for this period appears to have been no less detailed than that provided for the other years in issue. Mr Murray has not taken part in the proceedings and so there is no suggestion from him that the charges in issue are unreasonable. The figures given are as follows:

From the parallel figures it can be seen that the charges for the 18-month period are rather less than the estimates for the following 12 months, which the FTT regarded as reasonable. For a building of this size, and in the absence of challenge from Mr Murray, the charges are clearly reasonable and therefore payable.
