What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the rateable value should reflect only the minimum guaranteed rent (MGR) rather than actual rents paid, which included supplementary top-up elements. The tribunal found that the supplementary top-up element was personal to specific occupiers and did not represent open market value, and that the MGR was set through a competitive tendering process reflecting fair market value. The tribunal allowed the appeals, valuing the properties in line with their respective MGRs.
