What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant sought deletion and re-merger of two adjacent units which had undergone reconstruction works from November 2022 to March 2023, relying on Newbigin v Monk principles. However, the tribunal found it was statutorily unable to amend the 2017 rating list because the checks had been submitted after the list closed on 25 October 2024, preventing alteration under Regulation 5A. The tribunal was therefore unable to amend the transitional certificates and dismissed the appeals.
