The Tribunal held the relevant date for valuation is the date the Valuation List comes into effect (1 April 1977); evidence of actual rentals during and after the projection period is admissible under the Bwllfa principle; a projection reasonably made at the time is nonetheless reviewable on appeal and must be corrected where the projection is materially erroneous; on the facts the Commissioner erred in refusing to have regard to post‑projection rental evidence and his projection was excessive, so the rateable values were adjusted accordingly.
