What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of a ground floor office in central London, disputing the unadjusted main space rate applied by the Valuation Officer. The parties reached a verbal agreement the day before the hearing to adjust the assessment by increasing the natural light adjustment from 5% to 12.5%, resulting in a reduced RV of £132,000. The Tribunal ratified this agreement, finding the original assessment of £143,000 excessive.
