Valuation Officers (VO's) are responsible to the Inland Revenue whom they represent in cases heard by the Lands Tribunal. They survey and value property, make proposals, and deal with disputed rating assessments. When agreement cannot be reached after negotiations with ratepayers and/or their agents, cases go for decision to the local Valuation Court and occasionally to the Lands Tribunal where the Valuation Officer is present either as appellant or respondent. Every decision or order of the Tribunal being final, there is no right of appeal from the Tribunal to the Court of Appeal on a question of fact, only by way of case stated for determination of a question of law. Jurisdiction comes under the Lands Tribunal Act 1949,s.1(3)(e).
