Section 33: Power to provide for appeal to Upper Tribunal from tribunals in Scotland
184.Where a tribunal jurisdiction is transferred to the new tribunals under section 30, and such a jurisdiction is not transferred in relation to Scotland, section 33 creates a power for the Lord Chancellor to provide (by order) for an appeal to the Upper Tribunal against a corresponding decision made in exercising the untransferred Scottish jurisdiction.
185.An order under the section provides for the situation where the functions of a tribunal are to be transferred in respect of England, or England and Wales, but not in respect of Scotland; and where there is a right of appeal to the Upper Tribunal from decisions made in exercising the transferred jurisdiction in England, but no right of appeal from the decisions made in exercising the untransferred Scottish jurisdiction.
