Under the new ‘check, challenge, appeal’ system, valuation evidence should be provided upfront with the proposal (i.e. at ‘challenge’ stage). There is no longer a general right to introduce new evidence in the Valuation Tribunal. However, a recent decision of the Upper Tribunal, Stock Auto Breakers Ltd v Chris Sykes (VO) [2020] UKUT 0052 (LC), clarifies that the UT is not bound by the new rules. If applied wisely, the decision paves the way for new evidence to be successfully introduced in the UT, and perhaps even in the VTE. 

Cain Ormondroyd and Horatio Waller will present a 45 minute webinar introducing the revised rules for introducing evidence under the ‘check, challenge, appeal’ system. They will discuss the practicalities and challenges of the system in relation to introducing new evidence, and explore the UT decision in Stock Auto Breakers as providing the means for overcoming those challenges.
