ABSTRACT

In addition an appeal on a point of law should be available to the courts of law and judicial review of tribunal decisions should be available.

There are over 70 tribunals in England and Wales, although few of these hear more than 500 cases a year.94 All tribunals are established by statute under which their jurisdiction, membership and procedure is defined. Tribunals include Agriculture, Aviation, Data Protection, Education, Employment, Fair Trading, Financial Services, Foreign Compensation, Immigration, Land, Taxation, Misuse of Drugs, National Health Service, Pensions, and Rents. In addition to the above, the following sample illustrates the wide-ranging subjectmatter of Tribunals.
