Application for an order under paragraph 5A to schedule 11 of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002

It is important that you read the notes below very carefully before you complete this form.

This is the correct form to use if you wish to apply to the Tribunal for an order under paragraph 5A to schedule 11 of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002.

Applications should be sent as a Microsoft Word document by email to the relevant regional tribunal address shown in the Annex to this form. You must also send the documents listed in section 10 of this form. If you cannot access email or find someone to assist you in lodging your application by email, then a paper application will be acceptable although there may be a delay in dealing with this. Sending an application on paper will not be suitable in urgent cases.

Please make sure a copy of the application is served on the other party/parties to the application. If you are unable to serve a copy on the other party/parties, please bring this to the tribunal’s attention in the covering email or if sending by post in a covering letter.

Please do not send any other documents. When further evidence is needed, you will be asked to send it in separately.

If you have any questions about how to fill in this form, please contact the appropriate regional office.

NOTE: Paragraph 5A of Schedule 11 to the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 (‘the 2002 Act’) provides that a tenant may apply to the Tribunal for an order which reduces or extinguishes the tenant’s liability to pay an “administration charge in respect of litigation costs” ie contractual costs in a lease.
