The First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal (Chambers) (Amendment No. 2) Order 2009
This Order amends the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal (Chambers) Order 2008 (the “2008 Order”). The 2008 Order organised the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal into chambers and made provision for the allocation of those tribunals’ functions between the chambers. This adds functions relating to appeals regarding health in pregnancy grant to the functions assigned to the Social Entitlement Chamber. It also creates a new Lands Chamber in the Upper Tribunal, and allocates functions to this new chamber. Finally, the Order provides that where there is doubt or dispute as to the chamber in which a case should be heard, the Senior President of Tribunals may allocate the case to the most appropriate chamber.
