What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant argued that the rateable value should be reduced from £38,250 to £29,000 (later £31,500) based on a lower tone of value for main space, contending that a stepped rent of £30,000-£35,000 per annum supported a tone of £119 per m² rather than the VO's £145 per m². The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding the stepped rent unreliable for rating purposes and determining from comparable lettings in Phoenix Park that the VO's tone of £145 per m² was fair and reasonable.
