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.

Summary generated from the decision text and checked against it. The appellant was One Essex Court Ltd, represented.
