Tribunal Practice and Procedure

The new edition of this unique guide to the tribunal system will be completely revised and updated to reflect all changes since the first edition.

The tribunal structure has continued to expand with the introduction of immigration and asylum chambers in both the First-tier Tribunal and the Upper Tribunal, and the increase of jurisdictions within the General Regulatory Chamber. The new edition takes full account of those changes. It also includes the many amendments to the rules of procedure and contains a comprehensive analysis of the key procedural decisions made by the Upper Tribunal that lay the foundations for the new procedural regimes, including:

- R (RB) v First-tier Tribunal on the use of the review power

- Secretary of State for Justice v RB on the status of decisions of the High Court

- LS v London Borough of Lambeth on the scope of the decisions that are appealable to the Upper Tribunal.

As well as dealing with the rules of procedure, this book contains practical advice for tribunal members and those who appear before them. It deals with obtaining and assessing evidence, writing decisions, applying for adjournments, questioning and tribunal advocacy.

Written by a judge of the Upper Tribunal, this is essential reading for lawyers and advisers, tribunal judges and panel members, and anyone who appears before the tribunal or is interested in how they work.
