Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Rules)

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Rules 2 and 3 amend the rules of procedure which apply in certain chambers of the Upper Tribunal. These changes are consequential on changes made by the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal (Chambers) (Amendment) Order 2018 (S.I. 2018/509) in respect of allocation of proceedings between chambers of the Upper Tribunal. That Order provides that appeals from decisions of the Property Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal relating to a reference by the Chief Land Registrar or any other application, matter or appeal under the Land Registration Act 2002 (c. 9) shall be determined by the Lands Chamber of the Upper Tribunal rather than by the Tax and Chancery Chamber of the Upper Tribunal.

Rule 2 amends rule 10 (orders for costs) of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) (Lands Chamber) Rules 2010 (S.I. 2010/2600) so as to provide for these types of cases now falling under the remit of the Lands Chamber to be covered by the costs provisions for that Chamber.

Rule 3 amends rule 22 (permission to appeal) of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008 (S.I. 2008/2698) so as to remove reference to these types of cases, as they are now determined by the Lands Chamber of the Upper Tribunal and are therefore covered by the appeal provisions in rule 21 of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) (Lands Chamber) Rules 2010.

Rule 4 amends rule 33 of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) Rules 2014 in respect of applications for permission to appeal, in order to clarify that the time period for an application to be sent to the Tribunal is calculated by reference to the date on which the written reasons for the decision are sent to the party making the application.

No impact assessment has been carried out for these amendments as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
