What was argued and what the tribunal found
JC Decaux sought deletion of six advertising rights from the rating list, contending they were not separately rateable. The tribunal found that the advertising rights were let out or reserved to JC Decaux under section 64(2) of the 1988 Act, and that while Tesco exercised some reasonable control, this did not negate the existence of the right. The appeals were dismissed as the advertising sites constituted separate hereditaments that should remain on the rating list.
