Either just ignore the demands for payment, or issue a claim in the local County Court for a declaration that the sums aren't payable, relying on the LVT decision. Assuming that the sums in question haven't been paid. If they have, it's more complicated as you'd have to bring a claim in unjust enrichment to recover them.

Yeah he's fortunately not been daft enough to pay so far. I think he wanted to take it to another LVT and effectively present it as something he'd be happy to resolve through a formal REsidents ASsociation if the freeholder would only recognise it, and hope that the LVT would push them to recognise. But that approach worries me as they might find differently to the first LVT - the one which originally considered it unfair to charge for parking. If so his defense goes out the window.
Afternoon all
Got another weird query. What happens when your landlord ignores an LVT decision? In 2011 an LVT found that it was unreasonable to charge residents for parking, specifying clamping charges, on two grounds [a) that residents had paid for the car park to be installed, and b) there's no provision in the lease for such a charge].
However we still continue to be charged fines for parking; one of my residents has over £10k in parking fines. What can we do when they ignore tribunal decisions? Just take them back to tribunal?
