SUPPLEMENTAL DIRECTIONS

Background

A. These Supplemental Directions should be considered with the

Directions order dated 5 November 2018.

B. At the Case Management Hearing held on 16 October 2018 it was agreed that a leaseholders communications group would be established with the purpose of advising and assisting the Tribunal so that communications in this case are effective.

C. A meeting of the communications group took place on Friday 30 November 2018. This meeting was attended by a small number of leaseholders and representatives and representatives of London Borough of Wandsworth. Following that meeting there were a number of action points on some practical aspects of the communication process which are beyond the scope of these Supplemental Directions. But some solutions were proposed to enhance communication and these will impact on the Directions Order of 5 November 2018. Hence, these Supplemental Directions are made below.
