Book Description

Tribunal Practice and Procedure is the only book that covers the structure, proceedings and law governing the integrated tribunal system created by the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007. As well as dealing with the rules of procedure, this book contains practical advice for tribunal members and those who appear before them. It deals with obtaining and assessing evidence, writing decisions, applying for adjournments, questioning and tribunal advocacy.

Written by a judge of the Upper Tribunal, this is essential reading for tribunal judges and panel members, lawyers and anyone who appears before tribunals or is interested in how they work.

'Edward Jacobs’ new work seems destined to make a major contribution ... His "structured approach" to the procedure and practice of tribunals emphasises what is shared by the components of the new system rather than their differences. I am particularly pleased to note the valuable quotations from judgments relating to different tribunals which help to illustrate the underlining principles. I look forward to using the work as a ready handbook and guide to the new tribunals world.' Lord Justice Carnwath, Senior President of Tribunals, from his foreword.
