What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the RV of £340,000 (reduced to £224,000 by the VO) on grounds that void areas and excessive relativities were incorrectly included in the valuation. The tribunal found that inaccessible void areas with no services should hold no value under the rebus sic stantibus principle, and that certain areas described as offices were in fact lower-quality works offices that should be valued at a lower relativity. The tribunal allowed the appeal and reduced the RV to £160,000.
