Rulings, compared with the board
About the board's rate against tenantsDecided against tenants about as often as the board does on comparable applications, across 153 contested orders.
Orders are grouped by who applied and what they applied for, and this member’s record is compared with the board’s on that same mix. Withdrawn, settled and non-attendance dismissals are excluded. It measures how these decisions differ from the board’s on cases of the same type.
Dismissals, compared with the board
Bars landlords 2.04× as often as tenantsDismissed landlords' applications as not proved, out of jurisdiction or barred on procedure 2.04× as often as tenants', relative to the board's rate on comparable applications (95% interval 1.35–3.13), across 24 such dismissals of landlords' applications and 13 of tenants'.
Counts only dismissals the member ruled on — not proved, outside the board’s jurisdiction, or barred on procedure. Applications withdrawn, settled or dismissed because nobody attended are excluded, as they are above. The two sides are compared on this member’s own docket, against the board’s rate on the same kinds of application. It does not measure whether any decision was right.
