The Tribunal Procedure Committee is currently consulting on proposals which would amend the rules for each chamber of the First-tier Tribunals (FTT) (in addition to the Employment Tribunals) in relation to the provision of written reasons for decisions and other case management measures.
The proposals which would affect the FTT Tax Chamber include:
- a reduction in the time within which discretionary written reasons can be requested; and
- amending the rules addressing when full or summary-form reasons are required or available.
The closing date for responses is 22 October.
