Manager Appointments Made in and Around Bristol
| Development | Case | What the tribunal decided, and why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| 24 Montrose Avenue, Redland | CHI/00HB/LAM/2019/0019 26 January 2021 | Where a residents management company is deadlocked between two camps of leaseholder directors, the tribunal will keep a manager in place rather than hand the building back. A management order is not a one-off: it can be extended and the manager swapped under section 24(9) without starting the application again. |
| 15 Miles Road, Clifton | HAV/00HB/LAM/2025/0612 and LSC/2025/0725 31 March 2026 | The tribunal refused to appoint a manager even though the respondent did not object in principle, but held that 4,980 pounds of service charge used to fund a share of the respondent's legal costs was not payable. Legal costs reach the service charge only if the lease clearly provides for it, and an earlier refusal to make a costs order is not a finding that they were recoverable. |
