What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought deletion of the property from the 2017 Rating List, contending it became incapable of beneficial occupation on 19 July 2019 when strip-out works commenced in preparation for major refurbishment. The tribunal found that only minor works had been carried out at the material day (demolished stud walls and furnishings), with no evidence of comprehensive stripping out or uneconomic disrepair as required under Newbigin v Monk principles. The appeal was dismissed as the property remained a hereditament capable of beneficial occupation.
Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was an individual ratepayer, represented.
