What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant (Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums) challenged the 2017 rating list entries for three museum properties. Following a procedural dispute regarding the tribunal's powers, the parties agreed to reduce the rateable values to a nominal £1 with effect from 1 April 2017. The tribunal accepted this agreed position and allowed the appeals, ratifying the revised assessments.
