If you disagree with the decision made by a tribunal you may take your case to an upper tribunal or Administrative Appeals Chamber. You may only take a case to the upper tribunal if your appeal is for a legal reason – for example if you believe that the tribunal did not apply the law properly. The upper tribunal is independent and will listen to your side of the story.
Because you are only allowed to appeal based on legal grounds we would strongly suggest that you take impartial and professional legal advice before commencing such an action, in fairness the tribunal staff rarely make legislative errors.
How to Appeal
You must first get permission from the lower tribunal to appeal the decision. This must be collected within 28 days of their decision. You must then fill out this application form and deliver it to the address listed. If the lower tribunal refuses permission, you may also use this form to apply for a hearing directly to the upper tribunal in any case.
If your appeal is successful, you will then be called in for a hearing.
What to do if your hearing is unsuccessful
You may be able to continue your appeal at the Court of Appeal. To do this, you will first need permission from the Upper Tribunal in your country. You should write to the address below within 28 days of their decision.
