What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought to merge two hereditaments (Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal and W H Malcolm warehouse) under the Rating (Property in Common Occupation) Act 2018, arguing they should be treated as one property from 1 April 2010. The tribunal found the proposals invalid because they could have been lodged under the law as it existed before the 2018 Act came into force, meaning the change in law was not the reason for the proposals and they did not meet the definition of 'relevant proposal' under the amendment regulations.
Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was Malcolm Group Limited, represented.
