- High Court
The High Court upheld the Tribunal because the valuer applied the correct statutory starting point that each certificate of title is a separate rating unit, none of the Rules' exceptions were made out, the valuer properly evaluated development potential and comparable sales, and District Plan car park setback rules do not preclude Council discretion to grant resource consent or dispensations that the valuer sensibly allowed for in assessing value.
