Note: The Valuation Act 2001 came into force on 2nd May 2002.
Under section 37 of the Valuation Act 2001 the Tribunal may: (a) disallow the appeal and, accordingly, confirm the decision of the Commissioner; (b) allow the appeal and accordingly, do whichever of the following is appropriate: (i) amend the value of, or any other detail in relation to, the property the subject of the appeal, as stated in the valuation certificate issued under paragraph (b)(i) or (b)(ii) of section 33(2); (ii) decide that the property, the subject of the appeal, ought to be included in, or, as the case may be, ought to be excluded from, the relevant valuation list and, in the case of a decision that the property ought to be so included, determine the value of the property; or (iii) amend any detail in relation to the property, the subject of the appeal, stated in the notification made under section 33(2)(b)(iii).
The results of appeals under either the 1988 Act or the 2001 Act have not been analysed to provide greater detail than is set out in the table. Each appeal is considered by the tribunal on its own merits and in accordance with the provisions of the legislation by which the tribunal is bound in its deliberations.
