PART 5E+WAppeals: General

OrdersE+W

52.—(1) On or after deciding an appeal under regulation 24, the valuation tribunal may, subject to paragraph (3), require a VO, in consequence of the decision, by order to alter a list in accordance with any provision made by or under the Act.

(2) The VO must comply with an order under paragraph (1) within the period of 14 days beginning on the day of its making.

(3) Where the decision is that a disputed rateable value should be an amount greater than—

(a)the amount shown in the list at the date of the proposal, and

(b)the amount contended for in the proposal,

the order must require the list to be altered with effect from the day on which the decision is given.

(4) But paragraph (3) does not apply where the order requires the list to be altered to show—

(a)property previously rated as a single hereditament becoming liable to be rated in parts, or

(b)property previously liable to be rated in parts becoming liable to be rated as a single hereditament, or

(c)any part of a hereditament becoming part of a different hereditament.

(5) Where it appears that circumstances giving rise to an alteration ordered by a valuation tribunal have at the date of the decision ceased to exist, the order may require the alteration to be made in respect of a period that appears to the tribunal to be commensurate with the duration of those circumstances.

(6) An order under this regulation may require any matter ancillary to its subject-matter to be attended to.
