What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought to merge two contiguous rail freight terminal properties under the Rating (Property in Common Occupation) Act 2018. The tribunal found the proposals invalid because they were not 'relevant proposals' within the statutory definition – a merger could have been requested before the 2018 Act came into force, so the proposals did not depend on the change in law. The tribunal struck out the appeals.
Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Malcolm Group Limited, represented.
