What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that the rateable value of £27,000 (at £50 per m²) was excessive and proposed a reduction to £16,500 (at £25 per m²) based on analysis of the subject rent of £18,000 per annum. The tribunal found that in the absence of a lease and given conflicting information from multiple forms of return, insufficient weight could be attached to the subject rent, and that no comparable assessment evidence was presented to demonstrate the adopted price of £50 per m² was unreasonable. The appeal was dismissed as the appellant failed to demonstrate the valuation was unreasonable.
