# The Lands Tribunal (Amendment) Rules 1997, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Rules)
These Rules amend the Lands Tribunal Rules 1996. The Housing Act 1996 (c. 52) amended the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985 and the Landlord and Tenant Act 1987 to confer new jurisdiction on the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal with a right of appeal to the Lands Tribunal. Leave to appeal is to be required, and these Rules make provision for the procedure on an application for leave to appeal.
The Lands Tribunal Rules apply certain provisions of the Arbitration Acts, and these Rules also amend the 1996 Rules to take into account the coming into force of the Arbitration Act 1996.
The opportunity has been taken to make some minor drafting corrections to the 1996 Rules.
