What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued the subject property should have a nominal RV of £100 because its size and location resulted in no actual demand for letting, despite general demand for retail units in the locality. The tribunal found that general demand for retail premises could be assumed under the rating hypothesis and that the property's characteristics (size and position within the shopping centre) were not sufficient to override this general demand. The appeal was dismissed and the RV of £124,000 upheld.
