Appeals to Upper Tribunal

The Upper Tribunal (Administrative Appeals Chamber) deals with appeals from the First-tier Tribunal.

If a person is seeking to challenge the decision of a First-tier Tribunal permission must have been granted by Tribunal to appeal. You can only appeal against the decision of a First-tier Tribunal if it was wrong in law.

This may include but is not limited to:

The Tribunal wrongly interpreting or applying the law
The Tribunal making a procedural error
The Tribunal not having any or enough evidence to support its decision
The Tribunal not providing adequate reasons for its decision in its written decision

The Solicitor that represented the person at the hearing will be able to provide advice on appeal.
