<p>The time taken to resolve an appeal can be affected by a number of factors, such
as the complexity of the case or whether the case proceeds to be listed for hearing
by the independent Valuation Tribunal. Some cases can be held up in litigation or
placed on hold at the ratepayer's request. The average (median) time taken to resolve
challenges for non-domestic properties in each of the last five years is shown in
the attached table. This table covers the 2010 Local Rating Lists.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Median
(days)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010-11</p></td><td><p>135<sup>*</sup></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>335</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>413</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>390</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-15</p></td><td><p>395</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>
</p><p> </p><p>*The 2010 list began on 1 April 2010 so only those challenges received
in 2010-11 were resolved in 2010-11. In subsequent years, however, challenges received
in previous years can also be resolved so the median clearance time may include more
complex challenges which took longer to resolve.</p>
