What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, occupier of Unit 3.30 Canterbury Court, sought reduction to £11,000 RV (£388 per m²), arguing that the leases did not meet rating hypotheses as FRI leases and required considerable adjustment, and that a 26% reduction applied to other units in the building should apply uniformly. The tribunal found that the leases, whilst not FRI, had been properly adjusted by the managing agents and the rental evidence for the third floor supported £525 per m². The tribunal dismissed the appeal, confirming RV £15,000, finding that settlements and comparable evidence did not justify rejecting the valuation officer's analysis.
