What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought to merge two hereditaments (stables and sand school) that had been entered into the 2010 rating list as separate new assessments from 1 April 2010. The Tribunal found that the proposal was invalid because it was made in June 2019 after the 2010 list had closed, and the PICO Act only permitted such late proposals for properties affected by the Mazars decision (which split contiguous properties into separate hereditaments). Since these properties were entered as new assessments and not as splits resulting from Mazars, the appellant had no right to make a late proposal under the PICO Act framework. The appeal was dismissed.
