What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant (Grant & Stone Ltd) submitted a proposal on 14 March 2024 challenging the 2023 rating list RV of £69,500, seeking a reduction to £24,500. The Valuation Officer raised a preliminary issue about the validity of the proposal, but the Tribunal determined it had no jurisdiction to consider invalidity arguments at the appeal stage, as this should have been resolved during the challenge stage. The Tribunal found the proposal related to the 2023 list (not the 2017 list as the supporting information suggested) and therefore only had jurisdiction over the 2023 list entry. After the Tribunal ruled on its jurisdiction, the appellant's representative accepted that the VO's current assessment of £65,500 RV was accurate, and the appeal was dismissed.
