What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the effective date of 1 April 2017 when car parking spaces at Centre City entered the 2017 rating list, arguing instead for 31 October 2022 (when the single hereditament was split into 204 spaces) or alternatively 24 January 2022 (when first entered as a single hereditament). The tribunal found that the car parking spaces existed before the 2017 list and were in the appellant's control, and that the valuation officer was entitled to correct the compiled list error with effect from 1 April 2017 (the start of the 2017 list) under regulation 14(1B), rejecting the appellant's attempt to take advantage of the valuation officer's initial misidentification.
