A demand issued by freeholder Israel Moskovitz that a leaseholder pay £22,170 was reduced to £300 in the property tribunal last month and described as “a colossal waste of the time of both parties and of the court”.
The ruling concerned a dispute about a major works bill at Bridge Court South, in north east London that had already been settled, and ends two and a half years of legal wrangling.
This is the second time in recent months that Judge Nicholas Nicol has ruled on a dispute at the block, which now has right to manage, and on both occasions he has been critical of the conduct of Israel Moskovitz’s freehold owning entity Triplerose Limited.
