About us
The Upper Tribunal (Administrative Appeals Chamber) for the United Kingdom is a Superior Court of Record with UK wide jurisdiction.
It consists of specialist Judges whose main work is to decide applications for permission to appeal and appeals on points of law from decisions of First-tier Tribunals in the General Regulatory Chamber, the Health, Education and Social Care Chamber, the Social Entitlement Chamber and War Pensions and Armed Forces Compensation Chamber.
Please see the Cases we handle section for a list of the individual First-tier Tribunal jurisdictions which have a right of appeal to the Administrative Appeals Chamber.
The Administrative Appeals Chamber also deals with appeals from other bodies which are outside the First–tier Tribunal structure such as Forfeiture Act references, appeals in Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups cases and appeals against decisions of the Traffic Commissioners. The Chamber also hears some kinds of judicial review cases in England and Wales. These are:
- where there is a procedural decision of a First-tier Tribunal which has no right of appeal
- in Criminal Injuries Compensation Appeals decided by the First–tier Tribunal
- cases which may be transferred to the Upper Tribunal from the High Court.
