LT 9 May 2001. The respondent tenant's association X applied to the leasehold valuation tribunal (LVT) under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 s19 for various determinations regarding a property. On 31 October 2000 the LVT refused to make an order under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 s20C that the costs incurred by the applicant landlord, Barrington Court Developments Y in connection with the LVT proceedings were not to be counted as relevant costs for any service charge payable by the respondent. On 8 December 2000 the LVT refused X's permission to appeal. The LT refused X's application on 8 February 2001. Y applied to the LT for an award of its costs in responding to the unsuccessful application; estimating the total as £6,509.75 plus VAT. X argued the LT did not have jurisdiction to make an order of costs. Decision, the application was allowed in part and costs of £1,500 plus VAT ordered.
