    Court
    High Court

    The arbitrator correctly interpreted 'fair market value' by applying accepted IVS valuation principles (including highest and best use) and using market comparison cross‑checked with income approaches; his findings were fact‑based expert assessments and did not involve errors of law, therefore the appeal is dismissed.
