What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, a public house operator, challenged the 2017 rating list assessment of £50,000 arguing the property should be valued lower due to overtrading by the proprietor. The Valuation Officer initially increased the assessment to £71,000 following new trading figures. The tribunal found the original £50,000 assessment unreasonable but accepted the Valuation Officer's revised assessment of £60,000, which included a 20% allowance for overtrading, as reasonable and proportionate compared to the appellant's proposed £44,000 (with 30% overtrading allowance).
