What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant argued that the rateable values should be reduced to reflect only the minimum guaranteed rent (MGR) in the leases, excluding profit-based top-ups. The tribunal found that a prospective tenant would factor the top-up element into any rental bid, and that actual rents paid around the antecedent valuation date (excluding one property) exceeded the MGR, indicating the full passing rent was more analogous to statutory rateable value. The appeals were dismissed as the appellant failed to persuade the tribunal that the confirmed values were unreasonable.
