Part 1: Tribunals and Inquiries Schedule 3 Section 19: Transfer of judicial review applications from High Court
136.Section 19 amends the Supreme Court Act 1981 and the Judicature (Northern Ireland) Act 1978 to complement sections 15 to 18. As a result, certain applications for judicial review will have to be transferred to the Upper Tribunal where that class of case has been designated by a direction. In addition, the High Court may transfer to the Upper Tribunal individual cases that do not fall within a class specified under section 18(6). However, cases relating to immigration and nationality matters cannot be transferred in exercise of this discretionary transfer power.
