Best practice in rating cannot be achieved without understanding case law. This in person event enables leading lawyers and rating advisors, along with senior VOA contributors to come together to review key cases in the context of current practice. The event will be chaired by Upper Tribunal Member, Mark Higgin. Together they will review important and topical cases and explore the nuances of what is best and effective practice in the light of these decisions.

For The Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber)

Being a successful Expert Witness demands more than just having technical knowledge and experience, you need to understand the context and processes imposed upon you by Tribunal expectations and directions. This programme is designed to equip you with these critical skills. This upskilling initiative is designed for mid to senior level valuers and related professionals – anyone who appears as an expert witness in Business Rates, Compulsory Purchase and Telecoms. Whether you are seeking to develop, or fine tune existing skills, the programme is deliberately broad so both emerging and experienced professionals can benefit. Additionally, the programme will also be valuable for solicitors involved with instructing experts in litigation matters.
