Tribunals

Structure and role

The tribunals system provides an important, cost-effective and functional means of resolving certain types of administrative dispute. Tribunals are similar in many ways to the courts, in that they involve dispute resolution, but have many advantages over litigation

This article is relevant to AQA A-level Paper 2 (the nature of law and the English legal system) and OCR A-level Section A (the legal system).

Tribunals operate as an initial separate system to the courts and were developed alongside the welfare state after the Second World War. There is an appeal route to the Court of Appeal, but only under strict appellate guidelines after the tribunal system has been exhausted.
