What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant company sought a reduction in rateable value from £156,000 to £140,000 (later revising from an initial proposal of £130,000), arguing the rate of £35/m² was excessive. The tribunal found the actual rent passing of £130,000 per annum was not very reliable as evidence due to timing and circumstances, but determined that comparable properties, particularly 2/10 Baron Avenue at £39.99/m², supported the tone of £35/m² and dismissed the appeal on the basis that the appellant had failed to provide sufficient rental or comparable evidence to support a lower valuation.
