Procedural Posture

Appeal / Judgment After Appeal From Valuation Tribunal

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the Valuation Tribunal erred in law in upholding the council tax banding of the claimant's property
  2. 2 Whether the Listing Officer was required to provide a specific valuation for the property
  3. 3 Whether reliance on previous tribunal decisions and the 'tone of the list' was lawful

Ratio Decidendi

The appeal was dismissed because the tribunal did not err in law: it was not required to determine a specific value for the property, was entitled to rely on previous tribunal decisions and the tone of the list, and was justified in finding the claimant's indexation evidence insufficient. The tribunal's decision was not perverse and the burden of proof lay with the appellant, which was not discharged.
