What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that retail units at railway stations should be valued by reference to the minimum guaranteed rent (MGR) only, excluding the supplementary top-up element which was personal to specific occupiers and could reflect excessive performance. The tribunal allowed the appeals, finding that the MGR had been set through open competitive rental tendering close to the antecedent valuation date and represented open market value, while the top-up was occupier-specific and not necessarily achievable by a hypothetical tenant seeking to secure the unit at the outset.
