Topic: Assignment of Tribunal Appeal Panel Chair
Effective from 1 July 2021 until withdrawn or amended
This instruction is intended to ensure that the Tribunal Appeal Panel, which is selected to hear an appeal on a given case, and which shall comprise three Tribunal Members, has assigned to it one Tribunal Member, who will undertake the role of the Tribunal Appeal Panel Chair.
The Tribunal Secretariat will keep a record of each Tribunal Appeal Panel put in place to determine each appeal. This will include a record of the Tribunal Member who acted as Chair. This record will be kept to ensure that all Members act as Tribunal Appeal Panel Chairs, to the extent possible, on a broadly equal basis.
The Tribunal Secretariat will inform the applicant of the Tribunal Members on the Tribunal Appeal Panel, including which Tribunal Member that has been appointed to act as Chair and will copy the Tribunal members on the Tribunal Appeal Panel into the correspondence sent to the applicant.
