What was argued and what the tribunal found
The appellant, a hairdresser, appealed for a material change of circumstances based on disruption from the UEFA Champions League, a cricket festival, and road closures in May–June 2017, which she claimed had caused a severe impact on trade and sought a reduction to £1. The tribunal found that while the events caused some disruption, the appellant's trading accounts showed a general declining trend since 2013 with similar percentage drops before and after the alleged material change date, and the landlord's refusal to reduce rent indicated minimal impact on rental value. The tribunal dismissed the appeal and confirmed the rateable value of £11,500.
