What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants argued that the rateable values were unreasonable and should be based on a main space rate of £70 p/m² rather than the Valuation Officer's £85 p/m². The tribunal considered passing rents for the appeal hereditaments and comparative retail warehouses in the Bristol area, with adopted values ranging from £95 to £150 p/m². The tribunal found that £85 p/m² was beneath the range of comparables and therefore reasonable, dismissing both appeals.
