The First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal (Chambers) (Amendment No. 3) 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 Order creates a new General Regulatory Chamber in the First-tier Tribunal, and allocates functions to this new chamber. It clarifies the division of functions between the Social Entitlement Chamber and the Tax Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal. It renames the Finance and Tax Chamber of the Upper Tribunal as the Tax and Chancery Chamber, and adds to the functions allocated to that Chamber and to the Administrative Appeals Chamber of the Upper Tribunal. Finally, the Order amends the allocation of functions in relation to the Upper Tribunal’s “judicial review” jurisdiction so that some of those functions are allocated to the Tax and Chancery Chamber and the remainder to the Administrative Appeals Chamber.
