The First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal (Chambers) (Amendment) Order 2012

This Order amends article 10(a)(viii) of the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal (Chambers) Order 2010 (S.I. 2010/2655) in consequence of the recent expansion of road transport related cases over which the Upper Tribunal has jurisdiction. As well as jurisdiction over appeals from decisions of traffic commissioners, jurisdiction has been conferred on the Upper Tribunal to hear appeals under the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act (Northern Ireland) 2010 (2010 c.2 (N.I.)) from decisions of the Department of the Environment in Northern Ireland. The amended Order describes all such appeals as road transport cases.
