What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellant company failed to return a Form of Return requesting information for the 2023 revaluation within 56 days, resulting in a £100 penalty notice. The director claimed the documents were meant for the owner, not the tenant, and therefore did not respond to the original request or reminders. The tribunal found the information was in the appellant's possession and control, the form was properly addressed to the company, and the director had not demonstrated reasonable excuse, particularly as he should have made enquiries with the VO if uncertain. The appeal was dismissed.
