EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes transitional provision to allow certain persons who have been appointed to, or appointed as, a tribunal listed in Parts 1 to 4 of Schedule 6 to the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (c.15) (‘the Act’) to be considered a judge or a member of the First-tier Tribunal or the Upper Tribunal, as the case may be, for the purposes of paragraph 22(1) of Schedule 5 to the Act. That paragraph provides that the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales must appoint judges and members of the First-tier Tribunal and the Upper Tribunal to the Tribunal Procedure Committee. The people listed in the Table in this Order will become eligible to be appointed to the Tribunal Procedure Committee despite the fact that their offices have not yet transferred into the First-tier or Upper Tribunals.
