Summary - Prefix (folder_00)
We, mitre House management limited (the “respondent” “mHml”) would respectfully ask of the Trubunal to consider these observations, all of which are supported with hard copy numbered documents as to mrs m. Hillgarth’s (the “applicant” “mH”) credibility in this matter of an application to appoint a manager - re: landlord & Tenant act 1985 - Section 20C and landlord & Tenant act 1987 - Section 24(1) ref: loN/00aW/lam/2017/0011
1_ mrs Hillgarth’s Witness Statement (Paragraph 73) dated and signed 10 aug 2016 and included in the Section 22, landlord and Tenant act 1987 - request(s) by mrs Hillgarth (“mH”) and other(s) to view documentation from our 2014 year accounts Summary -
(Para 73) “I think many of the lessees, including myself, were so completely exasperated and exhausted with dealing with him [“PBC”] that we failed to take advantage, within the pre- scribed period of six months from the date of the service charge accounts, of section 22 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 to inspect the invoices supporting MHML's service charge accounts summary”. (Folder_00 Item_1)
(a)_in a 13pp letter dated 23 march 2016 from “mH’s” Solicitor, it states: Under Section 22 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, Mrs Hillgarth has the right to inspect accounts, receipts, and other documents supporting the accounts summary, and you are obliged to afford her reasonable facilities to do so, including the ability to take copies or extracts. Since you have consistently denied her this information she has asked me to undertake this on her behalf. In any event please respond to this letter by no later than close of business on Thursday 31 March 2016.
Please let me know a suitable time and place where I may inspect the relevant invoices referred to in questions (a) to (d) above. I repeat that I expect to see the original invoices from suppliers. Not copies, and not invoices prepared by MHML. I have advised Mrs Hillgarth that to the extent you fail to produce invoices from A&R Lawrence totalling £105,877, she and other lessees are entitled to re- cover the shortfall from MHML and/or its directors. (Folder_00 Item_2)
(b)_and under “information” in same letter dated 23 march 2016 writes:
Mrs Hillgarth is also very dissatisfied that she has been denied access to information about the internal and external refurbishment work carried out at Mitre House. Not only she (on 10 and 15 December 2015), but also Diego Fortunati (on 17 and 21 December 2015) and Christopher Leigh-Pemberton (since May 2015) have each pressed you, without success, to provide relevant details of the work carried out and a proper breakdown of the service charge accounts for the year ended 31 December 2014. In particular they wish to understand the expenditure referred to in the accounts as “reserves utilised”. (Folder_00 Item_3)
(c)_in a reply letter dated 1 april 2016, “PBC” wrote: We have all original invoices referred to in your 23 March letter available for inspection. We also have photocopies of all invoices. I suggest we have both originals and copies couriered over to your office requiring only the originals to be returned after satisfaction. (Folder_00 Item_4)
(d)_in a letter dated 8 april 2016, “PBC” wrote: “In the absence of a reply to my letter of 1 April offering to courier over the requested original invoices and copies to meet your deadline of 8th April 2016 close of play, we are presuming this is not acceptable to you in this instance”.
In the interim it would be appreciated to receive confirmations and apologies for some of the various
