What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the RV of £96,500 (subsequently reduced by the VO to £46,250 at zone A £255/m2) was excessive, contending a zone A rate of £70.25/m2 was justified by the passing rent of £12,000pa. The tribunal found the current zone A rate of £255/m2 was unjustified given The Galleries shopping centre's terminal decline at the valuation date, and determined that a zone A rate of £100/m2 more fairly reflected the property's circumstances, resulting in an RV of £19,750.
