S.I. 1989/439 (“the 1989 Regulations”). By virtue of section 15 of the Local Government Finance Act 1992 (c.14), valuation and community charge tribunals became known, from 1st April 1993, as valuation tribunals, and their jurisdiction was extended. In England, the jurisdiction of valuation tribunals under the 1989 Regulations is transferred to the Valuation Tribunal for England by paragraph A2 of Schedule 11 to the Local Government Finance Act 1988 (c.41), inserted by Schedule 15 to the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007. Part 4 of the 1989 Regulations was amended by S.I. 1990/582, S.I. 1993/292 and S.I. 1995/363. There are other amendments not relevant to these Regulations. By virtue of regulation 1A of the 1989 Regulations, inserted by regulation 53 of S.I. 1995/3056 (to which there are amendments not relevant to these Regulations), the 1989 Regulations do not apply to tribunals in Wales established by regulation 2 of S.I. 1995/3056. The tribunals in Wales to which the 1989 Regulations formerly applied ceased to exist by virtue of regulation 14 of S.I. 1995/3056.
