What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant challenged the unadjusted main space price applied to two office properties, originally £170/m², arguing for £136/m².

The tribunal ratified this agreement, reducing the RV of 1 The Boulevard from £540,000 to £470,000 and 2 The Boulevard from £317,500 to £275,000, effective 1 April 2023.
