520 _a[2003] EWCA Civ 1375, 22 August 2003. Appellant ratepayer (O) sought permission to appeal against LT decision (RA/22/2002, Abs67201) which determined the rateable value of a hereditament consisting of a right under license to display advertisements on the flank wall of a warehouse building. "Held": that LT had approached its decision correctly by applying the correct legal principles and had taken great care in its examination of the evidence before it, particularly in the consideration of comparables. The LT had correctly rejected O's argument that liability for rates should be measured by ability to pay and emphasised the principle of equality of rating. O's argument that profits method of valuation should be used was also rejected. Permission to appeal refused. LT decision upheld.
