How to respond in appeal to judge awarded betterment amounts

[flackie]

A previous landlord claimed an excessive amount for so-called "excessive damage" to the property. There were limited damages above fair wear and tear and we offered fair compensation to the landlord, it was amounts based on calculations taking into consideration the age and the life expectancy of the items. This was done in collaboration with the letting agency. He decided he wants substantially more and submitted a hugely inflated claim to the court which included many additional items which were not on the original list. We decided to fight this claim in court and the judge threw out most of the claims but the problem we have is the amounts he awarded to the landlord. This included betterment as well as hugely inflated amounts. We demonstrated in our arguments that the value of certain items are about 10% of the amount the landlord claimed and he provided zero evidence of original cost or date of purchase. We once again provided the calculations for the items where the value and date of purchase were known but the judge still awarded the landlord both the inflated and betterment amounts. We are appealing the outcome. Any advice how to respond to these awards to the landlord?
