Commentary on Sections

Section 8 - Determination or withdrawal of appeals

This section provides the Northern Ireland Valuation Tribunal with the power to allow or dismiss an appeal, either in total or in part.  The Tribunal can also correct any defect, error or misdescription in the original remedial notice if it is considered this will not cause injustice.

Notification of any decision made regarding appeals should be provided to the complainants, owner/occupier of neighbouring land and the relevant council and, where appropriate, should be accompanied by copies of any remedial notice it issues, varies or corrects.

Where an appeal is withdrawn the operative date will be the date on which the appeal is withdrawn.
