What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought a reduction in rateable value from £515,000 by reducing the unadjusted rate from £134.14/m² to £117.50/m². The tribunal gave little weight to the subject property's passing rent due to uncertain fit-out costs and the lengthy lease term, instead relying on comparable property evidence presented by the respondent. The tribunal found the appellant failed to demonstrate the RV was excessive and dismissed the appeal, maintaining the existing assessment.
