What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant company argued that the subject public house was overvalued at £83,500 because the publican was trading at a higher level than a competent publican and comparable public houses in the locality were valued lower. The parties reached a verbal agreement before the tribunal hearing to reduce the assessment to £75,000, which the tribunal ratified. The reduction represents a compromise between the original list value and the appellant's sought value of £56,000.
