What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the effective date of 204 car parking spaces entering the 2017 rating list, arguing they should have effect from 31 October 2022 (when the split was made) or alternatively 24 January 2022 (when initially entered as one hereditament). The tribunal found that regulation 14(1B) permits retrospective corrections of list inaccuracies, and since the parking spaces existed before 1 April 2017 and were in the appellant's control, the correct effective date was 1 April 2017, the start of the 2017 rating list. The tribunal rejected the appellant's argument that they should benefit from the valuation officer's initial error.
