Launch of First-tier Tribunal Property Chamber
A new tribunal for property and agricultural cases has begun work. The First-tier Tribunal Property Chamber launched this week, bringing together the work of the Residential Property and Agricultural Land Tribunals and the Adjudicator to HM Land Registry.
It is expected to handle 12,000 cases per year, and will be headed by the new chamber president, Siobhan McGrath, who will be supported by two principal judges and 19 salaried judges.
McGrath says: “The chamber will provide a one-stop service for a whole range of residential and agricultural property disputes. We hope also to develop forms of alternative dispute resolution, building on existing work in the chamber on mediation.”
