What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the rateable value of £76,000, arguing for a reduced tone of £350/m² compared to the Valuation Officer's £400/m². On the morning of the hearing, the parties reached a verbal agreement on the RV of £65,000, which the tribunal ratified and determined was the correct assessment, finding the original assessment excessive.
