What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant's representative proposed a rateable value of £71,000 based on a floor area approach at £136.50/m2, arguing that the fair maintainable trade adopted was excessive and citing competition in the area. The tribunal found the trade-based valuation method appropriate for this property and rejected the floor area approach, considering the property a traditional pub rather than a restaurant-style establishment and noting that the RV of £111,000 sat reasonably within the range of comparable public houses at £90,000-£130,000.
