SCS Law in my case. What about things like legal fees? They’ve added a statement of costs of £700+ to their evidence bundle.Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.

Where is the cost recovery clause in the signage and what costs have actually been incurred if no debt has been collected? I few standard letters at most. I told DRP to jog on from the start.
In the Chaplair Limited v Kumari [2015] EWCA Civ 798 the costs related to the payment of the management fees when the tenant was in arrears. If the tenant had been previously paying the management fees and had stopped paying then the landlord would be responsible for the fees. These would be fees for cleaning the communal area, gardening, insurance of buildings etc.

I have been a landowner for over 45 years. I have never come across an instance where a tenant pays the service charges. Why would they? They are tax deductible.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0

I think that in Chaplair Limited v Kumari the tenant must have been paying the management charge. In some cases this does happen however if they stop paying the landlord is responsible for them.
Anyway those were the fees that were being claimed in the case cited by the PPC's and whoever pays them they are legitimate fees paid for services which would be invoiced to the management company.
I see the main issues as
1) Whether there was a cost recovery clause in the signage.
2) How clear was the signage.
3) Whether any costs have been paid.
4) Whether the parking claim (£100) covered the admin costs.

This is an image of the sign. It was just letters from DRP so no costs should have been paid.Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.

BWLEGAL / BRITANNIA
Southampton Court
Judge Taylor
Case No F6DP042N
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/76287424#Comment_76287424
POST # 63
Whilst the defendant won for another reason, the judge clearly said
"He also said even if there was evidence of a contract existing, he would of ruled out the claim as an abuse of process due to the unexplained added £60."
BWLegal has still not said on what authority they have to disregard the law being POFA2012 ??0 -
So Judge Taylor had not changed his stance on this. I assume that the appeal will be heard by a Circuit Judge in the same region. If the CJ dismisses the appeal, Britannia may have shot themselves in the foot.
