Frequently asked questions
How do I prepare my case for the tribunal hearing?
If you want to come to the tribunal hearing, you need to prepare your case before the hearing date. Please try to provide as much evidence as possible to support your case.
You will be allowed to:
give spoken and written evidence;
present anything that you believe will help your case, such as letters, photographs or plans; and
bring someone along to speak for you or to appear as a witness.
We expect you and the valuation officer or listing officer or billing authority to have discussed beforehand any evidence that each of you will present at the tribunal hearing. You may find it useful to prepare a written statement. The other party’s evidence can appear fairly formal but we do not expect you to present your evidence in the same way as them.
It is useful if you can bring five copies of any documents that you want to present in evidence (a copy for each of the three members, the clerk and the other party). We can share anything else, particularly photographs and large plans.
