520			_aLT 18 December 1996. The Lands Tribunal has no power to award costs before a Leasehold valuation tribunal, but costs of an appeal to the Lands Tribunal were awarded to the appellant landlords up to the date of an offer letter with the appellants to pay the respondent tenants` costs thereafter, because the letter, agreeing to an increased price and offering to pay costs of £300 plus VAT, was a clear offer to settle which should have been accepted since it was unlikely that costs in excess of £300 had been incurred by the landlords by that date and the offer on costs was reasonable whereas it was unreasonable of the appellants to refuse the offer and seek a contribution towards their costs in the leasehold valuation tribunal. The tribunal reserved its decision. (Taken from the journal abstract).
