72Although, as is apparent from the 1997 Commission Communication, use of an independent expert is a method by which an assessment of the market value of land can be obtained, the fact remains that the General Court exceeded its review jurisdiction in so far as it merely held that, by giving preference to the costs-based method, the Commission had acted in breach of its duty to exercise due diligence, but did not demonstrate that the information thus overlooked could have led to a different assessment of the aid value. Moreover, the General Court failed to identify any manifest error of assessment.
