[2025] UKUT 279 (LC)

This is an appeal by Next Location Company Limited against the decision of the First-tier Tribunal on its appeal from a financial penalty imposed upon it by the London Borough of Haringey for the offence of managing a house in multiple occupation (an “HMO”) that was required to be licensed and was not licensed. The appeal has been decided under the Tribunal’s written representations procedure; the appellant has not been legally represented, and the London Borough of Haringey has chosen not to participate in the appeal. I refer to it as the respondent, for brevity, since it was the respondent in the FTT, but it is not a party to the appeal.
