Upper Tribunal

The Upper Tribunal hears and decides cases transferred or referred to it from the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland (First-tier Tribunal) and hears and decides appeals on decisions of the Chambers of the First-tier Tribunal. 

The current Chambers are:

  • General Regulatory Chamber,
  • Housing and Property Chamber,
  • Health and Education Chamber,
  • Local Taxation Chamber,
  • Social Security Chamber, and
  • Tax Chamber

Whilst the Upper Tribunal is primarily an appellate tribunal, it does, on occasion, hear cases at first instance.  

Unlike the First-tier Tribunal, the Upper Tribunal is not separated into Chambers.  The Upper Tribunal has three types of member:

  • Judicial,
  • Legal, and
  • Ordinary

Judicial members are appointed by the Lord President  need to check to make sure that is correct
