The First-tier Tribunal for Scotland Health and Education Chamber and General Regulatory Chamber Charity Appeals (Procedure) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2017
The Tribunals (Scotland) Act 2014 created a new structure for tribunals dealing with devolved matters under the judicial leadership of the Lord President of the Court of Session as head of the Scottish Tribunals. It provided for a First-tier Tribunal and an Upper Tribunal. The First-tier Tribunal requires to be divided into chambers dependent on the subject-matter of the case before it. The First-tier Tribunal has been divided into chambers including the Health and Education Chamber and the General Regulatory Chamber. These Regulations make minor amendments to the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland Health and Education Chamber (Procedure) Regulations 2017 (S.S.I. 2017/366), especially in setting out in full the penalties to which a person may be liable if orders or citations in respect of recovery of documents or attendance of witnesses are not obeyed. They also amend the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland General Regulatory Chamber Charity Appeals (Procedure) Regulations 2017 (S.S.I. 2017/364) in clarifying how the Rules of Procedure contained in the schedule of that instrument are to be cited.
