What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant, a company occupying sixth-floor offices in Birmingham, sought a reduction in rateable value from £19,750 to £17,250, arguing for a lower price per m2 (£105 instead of £110) and allowances totalling 7.5% for pillars and lack of self-contained toilets. The tribunal found that rental evidence from other floors within the same building supported the adopted £110 per m2 rate, and concluded that any disadvantages from pillars or shared toilet facilities would have been reflected in the hypothetical tenant's rental bid. The appeal was dismissed on all grounds.
