Applying to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber)
Appeals
Before considering appealing against the tribunal’s decision, you have a number of options.
Corrections
At any time during the proceedings, you can ask the tribunal to correct any mistake or missing information.
Setting aside the decision
If the tribunal has reached a decision which brought the case to an end, you can ask them to set aside that decision and re-make it.
They can do this if it is in the interests of justice to do so, and one or more of the following conditions are met:
- A relevant document was not sent to, or received by, you (or the other side in the dispute) or your (or the other side’s) representative at an appropriate time.
- A relevant document was not sent to or received by the tribunal at an appropriate time.
- You (or your representative) or the other person involved in the dispute (or their representative) were not present at the hearing.
- The procedure was not followed in some other way.
The tribunal must receive your application to set aside their decision either:
- within 28 days after the date on which the tribunal sent you notice of their decision
- if later, within 28 days after the date on which the tribunal sent you notice of the reasons for their decision
Applying for permission to appeal
If you decide to make an appeal to the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber), you must first apply to the tribunal for permission to do this. The tribunal must receive your application for permission within 28 days after they either:
- send you written reasons for their decision
- send you amended reasons for, or correction of, the decision following a review
- tell you that your application for them to set aside their decision has been unsuccessful
If the tribunal does not grant permission to appeal, you can seek permission to appeal from the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber).
