CA 3 July 1991. The appeal against the LT decision that a restaurant boat, permanently anchored to the river bed of the Thames, was not rateable, was dismissed; the river bed, owned by the Port of London, was by statute not rateable. Even if the boat was occupying rateable land, namely the embankment, the proposal would still be invalidated by also occupying land, which is exempt.
