Part 5 - Regulation of Estate Management Section 87: Determination of tribunal as to administration charges
Section 87 creates a new right for owners of managed dwellings to challenge the reasonableness of administration charges.
	Subsection (1) provides that an application may be made to the appropriate tribunal for a determination as to whether an administration charge is payable, and if it is, as to: the persons by which and to which it is payable, the amount which is payable, the date at or by which it is payable, and the manner in which it is payable. Subsection (2) provides that the requirement for an administration charge to be reasonable applies whether or not any payment has been made.
	Subsection (3) sets out the circumstances under which an application to the relevant tribunal cannot be made. These circumstances are in respect of a matter which: (a) relates to a dwelling and has been agreed or admitted by the owner of the dwelling; (b) has been or is referred to arbitration pursuant to a post-dispute arbitration agreement to which the managed owner is a party; (c) has been subject of a determination by a court; or in respect of determination by an arbitral tribunal pursuant to a post-dispute arbitration agreement.
	Subsection (4) provides that simply paying the estate management charge does not mean that the owner has agreed or admitted any matter. Subsection (5) provides that an agreement (other than a post-dispute arbitration agreement) is void in so far as it purports to provide for a determination in a particular manner or on particular evidence on any question which may be the subject of an application.
