What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, a leisure company, challenged the rateable value of an indoor trampoline centre in Ipswich, arguing for a base rate of £45/m² rather than the valuation officer's £75/m². The tribunal found that whilst the subject hereditament's rent appeared higher than comparable retail units on the same site (valued at £35.76/m² and £38.44/m²), the valuation officer's rate of £75/m² was not reasonable. The tribunal adopted a middle position of £60/m², resulting in a reduced rateable value of £265,000.
