In May 2000 Sir Andrew Leggatt was asked to carry out a review of tribunals. Sir Andrew's report, 'Tribunals for Users: One System, One Service' was published in August 2001.
Sir Andrew recommended that all tribunals should be supported by one common administrative service, completely independent of those bodies whose decisions the tribunals were reviewing. In March 2003, the Government announced it was going to create an independent Tribunals Service. The new service would initially comprise:
- 16 tribunals administered by the former Department for Constitutional Affairs (DCA)
- and five additional non-devolved central government tribunals.
Details of these proposals were set out as part of the White Paper 'Transforming Public Services: Complaints, Redress and Tribunals', which was published in July 2004.
You can access a full list of the tribunals administered by the Tribunals Service on the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page of this website.
