What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged 146 assessments at a serviced office building on compiled list and MCC grounds relating to building works disturbance. The parties reached agreements prior to the hearing that the tone of the list should reduce from £395 per m² to £380 per m², with 4% allowance for MCC disturbance on 1 April 2017, and an additional 4% (8% total) for disturbance from 14 August 2017 to 15 October 2020.
