[2025] UKUT 234 (LC)

This is an appeal brought by a local housing authority, the London Borough of Waltham Forest, against the decision of the First-tier Tribunal in an appeal against civil penalties imposed on Mr Michael John and Mrs Lisa John. Essentially the appellant says that the penalty imposed on Mr John was too lenient as a result of errors of law by the FTT, and that the FTT’s decision to impose no penalty on Mrs John was, likewise, made in error.

The appeal has been decided under the Tribunal’s written representations procedure. Grounds of appeal for the appellant were written by Mr Riccardo Calzavara; the respondents have not taken part in the appeal.
