What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that a maintenance platform with limited weight-bearing capacity should be excluded from the assessment, that a shared corridor should not be included as the appellant lacked paramount control, and that two rooms (ST01 and Lab 16) should be valued as storage rather than offices. The tribunal accepted these contentions, finding the platform non-load bearing (citing Wilkinson v Edmundson), the corridor not subject to rateable occupation as used by multiple tenants without paramount control by the appellant, and the two rooms more suited to storage use. The RV was reduced from £82,500 to £41,000.
