[2025] UKUT 265 (LC)

This is an appeal from the decision of the First-tier Tribunal that it did not have jurisdiction to make a rent repayment order because the application to the FTT was made out of time. The appeal is brought with permission from the FTT. It has been decided under the Tribunal’s written representations procedure; the appellant has been represented by Mr Jamie McGowan of Justice for Tenants, and the landlord Mr Mohammed Ali has chosen not to take part in the appeal.

This decision is necessarily brief since the point on which permission to appeal was granted has now been decided, in the appellant’s favour, by the Tribunal in a decision published after the date of the FTT’s decision.
