What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of a prominent public house in York's city centre, seeking a reduction from £310,000 to £208,000, arguing the property was overtraded and fairly valued around £236,000. The Tribunal accepted the trade-based valuation approach under the Approved Guide but found the VO's proposed £260,000 was excessive; comparing with similar properties and applying a 20% reduction for overtrading (consistent with comparable Revolution), the Tribunal determined that £236,000 fairly reflected the property's fair maintainable trade.
