    One of the panelists has had a re-think:

    I think its matter of misuse of a common property key and obstruction of common property.  It’s a matter of transparently managing the use of lift keys, and suggest General Meetings are the best way of making all aware of his behaviour.

    I misunderstood the scenario and thought he had locked it off for his permanent use. Your article indicates it is temporary use only, which I do not think would allow for an exclusive use by-law because it is not for his ‘exclusive use’ ie use that is for the exclusion of all others.

    Exclusive-use and charges of electricity, while a fitting humiliation (and I take it that is tongue firmly in the canines), would be a very difficult matter to successfully run through the Tribunal following his presumed refusal to consent.
