What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the Valuation Officer's fair maintainable trade (FMT) estimate of £350,000 was unreliable as it was based on a projection from press reports, and that actual trade figures of £232,727 were more reliable. The tribunal found that the appellant's use of actual trade figures was more credible than the estimated FMT, and accepted the proposed valuation of £26,250 RV based on adjusted FMT of £219,461 applied at 12%.
