Territorial Extent Schedule 7: Relevant offences Part 7: Operating and Personal Licences: Appeals Section 143: Appeal from Tribunal
378.This section provides that parties to an appeal before the Tribunal may appeal the Tribunal’s decision to either the High Court, or, in Scotland, the Court of Session. The right only extends to appeals based on a point of law, and appeals may only be brought with the permission of the Tribunal or, if this is denied, the relevant appeal court. A higher court to which an appeal is brought under this section can affirm or quash the Tribunal’s decision, or remit the matter back to the Tribunal for a re-determination. There is no power for the higher court to make a fresh determination based on the facts of the case.
