158.Section 38 replaces the existing multiple regional Tribunals in England with one Tribunal and continues the Tribunal for Wales. In addition, it renames the role of chairman of each of the Tribunals as president. The Tribunal for England and the Tribunal for Wales will each have a president. The term "president" as it is currently used under the 1983 Act to refer to the chair of a Tribunal constituted for particular proceedings will be replaced with "chairman".
