EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order is made under the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007. That Act established the Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council (AJTC) to replace the Council on Tribunals and to keep under review, consider and report on matters relating to listed tribunals. On the coming into force of the 2007 Act the only listed tribunals were the two new tribunals provided for in the 2007 Act, being the First-tier Tribunal and the Upper Tribunal. However, the Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council (Listed Tribunals) Order 2007 designated additional entities as listed tribunals.

This Order amends the 2007 Order, removing the entry in that Order for Valuation Tribunals for England and replacing it with an entry relating to the Valuation Tribunal for England, and adding an entry relating to the Office of the Health Professions Adjudicator (except in respect of its functions in Northern Ireland).
