What was argued and what the tribunal found

BT appealed to delete an advertising right hereditament on a StreetHub kiosk, arguing the right to use digital screens for advertising was not a right to use "land" as defined in section 64(11) of the 1988 Act, as screens constitute plant rather than a structure. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding that the StreetHub is a structure falling within the definition of land in section 64(11), and that the definition of "land" as used includes parts of structures such as the advertising screens, making the assessment a valid statutory hereditament under section 64(2).
