What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant challenged the rateable value of office premises at 1 Newman Street, London, arguing it should be reduced from £800 per m2 (£400,000) to £675 per m2 (£337,500) based on a wider basket of comparable evidence. The tribunal found that the best and most persuasive evidence was from rental lettings within the subject property's own building, which demonstrated an open market rental value supporting £800 per m2. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding no compelling evidence that the adopted rate was unreasonable.
