The Upper Tribunal plays a vital role within Scotland’s system of administrative justice, providing authoritative and independent determination of appeals and complex cases across a wide range of subject areas.
The Upper Tribunal for Scotland hears appeals from the First-tier Tribunal as well as certain appeals which can only be appealed directly to the Upper Tribunal. In certain circumstances, some matters can be appealed from the Upper Tribunal for Scotland to the Court of Session.
The Upper Tribunal for Scotland is located at the Glasgow Tribunals Centre, Atlantic Quay.
The Upper Tribunal consists of judicial members, which are Senators and Sheriffs, as well as Legal Members and Ordinary Members with surveyor experience.
