- Case number
- FAMV63/2016
Leave to appeal was granted only on two discrete questions: (1) PBIL's question on the meaning and scope of 'permitted user' for 'godown purposes' (whether it requires a building); and (2) the Director's question whether the Court of Appeal was correct that the different factual assumptions directed for before and after valuations could not as a matter of law lead to differences in value. All other questions failed the test for leave and were refused, with the Appeal Committee adopting the Court of Appeal's reasoning for those refusals.
