APPEALS COST
At the present time if you appeal against you rating valuation, no costs are involved, but the government are trying to change that.
They are proposing that if the Valuation Office gets it Wrong you are going to be charged up to £300 just to put in an appeal. This is based on their "success" with regard to employment appeals. By introducing a charge it cut the number of appeals massively. Pretty obvious to some that if you loose your job, you will not be able to pay fees just to get justice.
All this should not be a surprise, as it follows on from the principles of the Magna Carta that justice should be free - for the rich and powerful.
