EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order is made under the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (“the 2007 Act”) and the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011.

The 2007 Act establishes the Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council (“the AJTC”), which has both a Scottish and a Welsh committee. It provides for the AJTC to keep under review, consider and report on matters relating to “listed tribunals”.

The 2007 Act and the Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council (Listed Tribunals) (Scotland) Order 2007 (“the 2007 Order”) make provision for certain tribunals to be “listed tribunals”. This Order amends the 2007 Order by adding to the “listed tribunals”, children’s hearings under the Children’s Hearings (Scotland) Act 2011.
