Section 35 Special Immigration Appeals Commission

100.This section inserts two new provisions into section 1 of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission Act 1997. First, it provides that SIAC is to be a superior court of record. This means that the tribunal enjoys the same status as the High Court and the Court of Appeal. Second, it provides that decisions of SIAC may be challenged only on appeal to the Court of Appeal (or its equivalents in Scotland and Northern Ireland), as set out in section 7 of the 1997 Act and section 30(5)(a) of this Act.
