Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order provides for rent assessment committees to be added to Schedule 6 to the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (c. 15) (“the 2007 Act”). Committees for areas in England are added to Part 1 of that Schedule and committees for areas in Wales are added to Part 7 of that Schedule.
Agricultural Land Tribunals for areas in England are added to Part 1 of that Schedule and the Agricultural Land Tribunal for Wales is added to Part 7 of that Schedule.
The Order also removes the entry relating to Agricultural Land Tribunal which currently appears in Part 4 of that Schedule.
The result is that the Lord Chancellor is empowered to transfer the functions of those tribunals into the unified tribunal structure created by the 2007 Act. He is also empowered, in relation to England, to transfer to the Lord Chancellor Ministerial responsibilities for those tribunals and to transfer to the Tribunal Procedure Committee the powers to make procedural rules for those tribunals.
By adding the Agricultural Land Tribunal for Wales and rent assessment committees for areas in Wales to Part 7 of Schedule 6 the Lord Chancellor is empowered to transfer the right of appeal from decisions of those tribunals from the High Court to the Upper Tribunal under the provisions of section 32 of the 2007 Act.
