520			_aChD 30 October 1987. An originating summons to determine questions on maintenance charges said to be payable by the leasehold owners of flats (P). The summons itemised 20 questions. Each flat is let on a standard lease, the parties being the lessor, the tenant and the maintenance trustee. By 1985 P became aware of defects in the external walls . Fan scaffolding was erected to guard against falling masonry and arrangements made to rectify the problem at a cost of £185,927 plus VAT. However it became apparent that the defects were more serious than originally supposed. A letter was sent to residents indicating that an additional £1,700 per flat was to be levied as an `extraordinary item` for the year ending March 1986. However P claimed they were not liable for the costs. Two estimates were obtained one of £750,000 from engineers by the maintenance trustee and £250,000 on behalf of the leaseholders. Eventually the price was agreed at £232,300 during the hearing. Most of the 20 question
