What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellants sought a 65% reduction in rateable value for their office property based on material changes of circumstances attributable to coronavirus. The tribunal dismissed all 26 appeals, holding that section 1(4) of the Rating (Coronavirus) and Directors Disqualification (Dissolved Companies) Act 2021 prohibited any reduction directly or indirectly attributable to coronavirus, and none of the statutory exceptions under section 1(5) applied to these cases.
