Detail of outcome
This is the Tribunal Procedure Committee’s reply to the consultation on a proposed amendment to rule 22 of the Upper Tribunal Rules 2008.
This publication contains a summary of the consultation responses and outlines the TPC’s approach to the proposed rule change following the outcome of the consultation.
The consultation concerned a proposed amendment to rule 22 of the Upper Tribunal Rules 2008. Accordingly, Upper Tribunal Judges deciding permission to appeal (PTA) applications (or an application to admit a late application for PTA) on the papers will be conferred a power to certify an application (or part of it) as being “totally without merit”. Consequently, the applicant would not be allowed to renew the application (or that part of it) at an oral hearing
