Cain v Islington LBC – 25 September 2015 – Where a tenant challenged the reasonableness of service charges paid during the previous 12 years, the tribunal considered the meaning and effect of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 s.27A(5). The provision did not prevent a tribunal from inferring from a series of payments made without protest that the tenant had agreed that the amount claimed was the amount properly payable; the provision only precluded the tribunal from inferring agreement from a single payment.
