What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought allowances for a material change of circumstances relating to building works at 65 Clifton Street affecting five floors of office premises at 40 Clifton Street, London. The parties agreed the level of allowance that should apply to five of the appeal properties (ranging from 2.5% to 5.0%), and the tribunal ratified these agreed reductions with effect from 1 July 2021. Two further appeals relating to other parts of the building were dismissed as no allowance was agreed between the parties.
