TRIBUNALS AND INQUIRIES

The Tribunals (Scotland) Act 2014 (“the 2014 Act”) created a new structure for tribunals in Scotland 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. Generally, the First-tier Tribunal deals with cases in the first instance to which a general right of appeal lies to the Upper Tribunal. 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.
