The Transfer of Functions (Transport Tribunal and Appeal Panel) Order 2009
This Order is made under the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (“the 2007 Act”). Part 1 of the 2007 Act creates a new two tier tribunal structure; the First-tier Tribunal and the Upper Tribunal (“the new tribunals”) are established under section 3 of the 2007 Act. Order making powers are provided under Part 1 of the 2007 Act to enable functions of existing tribunals to be transferred into the new structure. This Order transfers some functions of the Transport Tribunal to the First-tier Tribunal and some to the Upper Tribunal. Some functions, including functions devolved under the Scotland Act 1998, will be retained by the Transport Tribunal.
