The First-tier Tribunal for Scotland Social Security Chamber (Procedure) Regulations 2018
The Tribunals (Scotland) Act 2014 (“the 2014 Act”) creates 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 provides for a First-tier Tribunal and an Upper Tribunal for Scotland, with these being known, collectively, as the Scottish Tribunals. The 2014 Act provides for the First-tier Tribunal to be divided into chambers in order to deal with the various matters falling within the jurisdiction of the Scottish Tribunals. One of those chambers is the Social Security Chamber, which is brought into being by the First-tier Tribunal for Scotland (Chambers) Amendment Regulations 2018 (S.S.I. 2018/349).
