What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant (Red Lion Ltd) failed to return a Valuation Officer's information request form within the statutory 56-day period, despite two reminders and a granted extension. The form was finally returned on 27 September 2021, well after the deadline of 12 August 2021. The appellant argued staffing difficulties and difficult trading conditions post-reopening as reasons for the delay. The tribunal dismissed the appeal, finding no reasonable excuse for the late submission, particularly given that an extension had already been granted and the information was required for the 2023 revaluation exercise.
