Regulation 35 Jurisdiction
Subject to paragraphs (2), (3) and (4)—
an appeal other than an appeal against the imposition of a penalty shall be dealt with by the tribunal established for the area in which is situated the dwelling to which the appeal relates;
an appeal against the imposition of a penalty shall be dealt with by the tribunal whose area of jurisdiction includes the area of the billing authority concerned.
Where—
more than one billing authority has decided that a person is liable to pay council tax for the same day because he is a resident in relation to a dwelling, and
the person appeals under section 16(1) against both or all of the decisions, and
but for this paragraph, the appeals would fall to be dealt with by different tribunals,
the appeals shall be dealt with, subject to paragraph (3), by such one of those tribunals as he may, by notice in writing given to the clerks of those different tribunals, elect.
Where the appellant is an employee or member of the tribunal which, but for this paragraph, would deal with his appeal, it shall not be dealt with by that tribunal but by such other tribunal as may be appointed for the purpose by the Secretary of State.
Where the appellant is a former member or employee of the tribunal by which, in pursuance of any provision of this regulation, his appeal would fall to be dealt with, and the president determines that it shall not be dealt with by the tribunal, it shall be dealt with by such other tribunal as may be appointed for the purpose by the Secretary of State.
Where—
the appellant is a former member or employee of an old tribunal, and
in pursuance of paragraph (1) or (2), his appeal would fall to be dealt with by a tribunal whose area includes all or part of the area of that old tribunal, and
the president determines that the appeal shall not be dealt with by that tribunal,
it shall be dealt with by such other tribunal as may be appointed for the purpose by the Secretary of State.
