What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant sought to reduce the rateable value from £2,040,000 (£67.50 p/m2) to £1,550,000 (£51 p/m2) based on comparable rental evidence from distribution properties in the locality. The tribunal found the appellant's specific comparable evidence unreliable but was persuaded by settlements of 26 properties in Magna Park, which had all been altered from £67.50 p/m2 to £62.50 p/m2. The tribunal concluded the subject property should be valued at £62.50 p/m2, resulting in an RV of £1,900,000, which was between the original and proposed values.
