An arbitrator making a rent review determination in respect of a commercial lease had failed to take into account the notional tenant's profit in the calculation of a fair rent, so there had been a serious irregularity. The valuation method was rejected by the Court even though the landlord's surveyor had initially accepted it. Accordingly, the Court ordered that the review be resubmitted to the arbitrator who must reduce the rent award to allow for an appropriate profit margin for the tenant.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
