What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the effective date of an RV increase, arguing the VO had initially measured the property incorrectly and improperly backdated the increase to 1 January 2018. The VO conceded the error and that regulations do not permit backdating of RV increases not caused by the ratepayer. The tribunal upheld the appeal and confirmed the increase should be effective from 13 July 2021, the date the schedule was issued.
