National Car Parks Ltd v Baird (Valuation Officer) and Another: CA 22 Jul 2004

The claimant appealed against valuations by the defendants. They complained that the statute imposed a duty on them to alter the rating lists to accpord with agreements as to their value.
Held: The statute imposed no time scale for the defendants to implement the changes. What time was proper therefore required the court to look at all the circumstances. Indeed in this case the claimants could establish any right to have the lists changed at all.
