Hospitals in court for £1.5bn rate rebate claim NHS trusts should be treated as charities and get a £1.5bn business rate refund, a court has heard.
Derby Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is leading 16 other trusts against 45 local authorities, including Derby City Council.
The High Court heard trusts should qualify as they worked with hospitals "plainly for the public benefit".
But barristers for the authorities said no such claims had been made before and any refund would hit public finances. BBC News
