This Consultation invited comments on proposals to reform Section 703 Tribunal appeal routes in line with plans for administrative justice reform outlined in the White Paper “Transforming Public Services: Complaints Redress and Tribunals”.
It asked for comments on proposals that the functions of the Tribunal be transferred to the first tier of a reformed tribunal; and that there be an onward right of appeal, on a point of law, and with permission, to the appellate tier. The consultation also asked how the legal and commercial expertise which the Tribunal offers could be best retained within the reformed tribunal.
This report summarises the responses received to the consultation 'Reform of Section 703 Tribunal Appeal Routes' including how the consultation process has influenced the final shape of the policy and the conclusions that we have reached.
