EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends Table 1 in Part 3 of Schedule 14 to the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 (c. 4), to reflect the bringing into force of section 38(6) of the Mental Health Act 2007 (c. 12) (“the Act”), which requires the Lord Chancellor to appoint one of the members of the Mental Health Review Tribunal for Wales as President (rather than, as previously, chairman) of the Tribunal. This amendment is brought into force by the Mental Health Act 2007 (Commencement No. 12 and Transitional Provisions) Order 2017 (S.I. 1038 C. 95) on 1st December 2017.
This Order also adds the offices of President and Member of the Chairmen’s Panel of the Special Educational Needs Tribunal for Wales appointed under section 333(2) of the Education Act 1996 (c. 56) to the table so that the provisions of Part 4 of the Act will apply to the appointment, and discipline of holders of those offices.
