EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 11 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 provides that a party to a case has a right of appeal on a point of law from the First-tier Tribunal to the Upper Tribunal. But there is no right of appeal against a decision which is “excluded”. Excluded decisions are listed in subsection (5) and this Order lists additional excluded decisions which are also prohibited from a right of appeal to the Upper Tribunal under section 11 of the 2007 Act.
