What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of an office on the 2nd Floor of The Quorum, Bristol. The VO had agreed to reduce the RV to £32,000 (£95/m²), but the appellant argued for £25,250 (£75/m²) based on rental evidence from comparable offices in the same block dated close to the AVD which had not been refurbished. The tribunal found the appellant's analysis of actual leases more compelling than the VO's reference to incomplete Form of Returns data and a settlement relating to a refurbished office, allowing the appeal at £75/m².
