Part 4: Higher-risk buildings Appeals etc Section 107: Enforcement of decisions of the First-tier and Upper Tribunal Background
The general position is that the tribunal does not have enforcement powers of its own, other than powers to enforce payment for a sum of money. As such, where it is necessary to have powers to enforce tribunal decisions, it is usual to insert a provision in legislation to enable the county court to enforce those decisions.
Example
The Regulator issues a direction to an Accountable Person to carry out an assessment of building safety risks under section 83. In the event of an appeal by the Accountable Person, the tribunal’s decision on the appeal can be enforced with the permission of the county court in the same way as orders of the county court.
