What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought deletion of the stables entry from the 2010 rating list with effect from 1 April 2010. The appeal was dismissed due to the appellant's failure to comply with the Tribunal's standard directions. Despite repeated reminders and clear guidance, the appellant failed to serve a consolidated evidence bundle containing both parties' statements of case and any rebuttal, and chose not to attend the hearing. The tribunal found this was a serious breach with no good reason provided, and in the circumstances of the case with three listings and repeated non-compliance, it was not in the interests of justice to lift sanctions.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was an individual ratepayer, unrepresented.
