What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued the rateable value should be reduced from £44,000 to £40,000 based on a tone of value of £72.50/m², contending that comparable rental evidence supported this figure. The tribunal accepted the passing rent of £48,000 pa (£79.49/m²) as reliable and found that in conjunction with Unit 2 at Abbey Mead Industrial Estate, the current RV of £44,000 was reasonable. The appellant failed to discharge the burden of proof to establish that the property should have been valued at £72.50/m².
