What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant contended that digital advertising displays should be valued at the base static rate with no uplift, arguing the digital mechanism was not rateable and the VO's uplift of six times was excessive and unsubstantiated. The tribunal found that while digital advertisements are more valuable than static ones, the VO's uplift of six was excessive. The tribunal allowed the appeals in part by determining a multiplier of three (rather than six) should be applied to the VOA's static base rates for digital display sites.
