                Any person may object to an entry in the rating records on any of the grounds following, that is to say — 

        [(1)         deleted]

        (2)         That any property included, for which he stands rated, was not rateable at the time of the completion of the rating records.

        (3)         That such person was not at such time liable to be rated in respect of land for which he stands rated.

        (4)         That (where the assessment is on the area) the area set out in the rating records is in excess of the actual area of the land.

        (5)         That the land or a part thereof should be exempt under section 72(1).

        (6)         That the grading of the land, or part thereof, under section 89(3)(a) ⁷ is not appropriate.

                Provided that where any rateable property is occupied by or leased to any person who has contracted to pay the rates thereon, the occupier or lessee may object to any entry in the rating records in the same manner as if he were the owner of such property, and as if his name had been inserted in the rating records as such owner.
