What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the effective date of car parking spaces entering the 2017 rating list, proposing either 31 October 2022 (when the single hereditament was split into multiple ones) or alternatively 24 January 2022 (when initially brought into the list). The tribunal found that the car parking spaces existed prior to 1 April 2017 and that the valuation officer was simply correcting a compiled list error by splitting the single hereditament into 204 separate ones. The tribunal applied regulation 14(1B) and determined that the circumstances giving rise to the alteration occurred before the list compilation date, so the effective date should be 1 April 2017 (the start of the 2017 list), rejecting the appellant's attempt to benefit from the valuation officer's earlier errors.
