What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought deletion of 12 units from the rating list on the grounds that they were in such a state of disrepair as to be incapable of beneficial occupation for their designated industrial use. The tribunal found that the hereditaments were capable of beneficial occupation on the material day of 30 June 2019, as the units had been recently vacated and there was insufficient evidence that they had deteriorated to such an extent. The panel concluded that the appellant had not proved its case and that the units remained capable of beneficial occupation despite being in poor condition.
