Sections 44 and 45: The Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council

208.The existing Council on Tribunals will be replaced by an Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council (AJTC), which is established by section 44 and Schedule 7. The AJTC, like the Council on Tribunals, will be a non-departmental public body, but will have a wider remit.

209.When the AJTC comes into existence, the Council on Tribunals (and its Scottish Committee) will be abolished. This will be effected by section 45. Section 45 enables the Lord Chancellor to make an order transferring any property, rights or liabilities the Council on Tribunals may have at the time when it is abolished to the new AJTC. The order is to be subject to negative resolution procedure.
