In response to Public Health England guidelines on social distancing remain in place, parties should use email to lodge all new applications and appeals to the property chamber, first-tier tribunal, the President instructed in a practice direction last week. All correspondence and case management documentation should also be sent by email.

Similarly, the President of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber has issued a practice statement asking that all appeals should use the online procedure.
