What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the RV of £90,000 initially entered in the 2017 list, seeking £38,500 based on a 65% discount to wet FMT for overtrading. The Valuation Officer had reduced this to £57,500 with a 50% discount. The tribunal found the 50% discount appropriate, preferring comparable evidence from Yates' Wine Lodge over the appellant's reliance on The Wyldes, and concluded the subject property's location and trading profile did not justify the higher discount level proposed, dismissing the appeal.
