What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the rateable values of two shop properties on Little Newport Street were excessive and should be reduced from £60,500 and £86,500 to £49,750 and £71,000 respectively, based on a zone A rate of £2,300/m². The tribunal found that rental evidence from comparable properties on the same street supported the existing zone A rate of £2,800/m² and that the appellant had not provided sufficient evidence to prove the valuations were excessive. The appeals were dismissed on the balance of probabilities.
