A consultation on increases to fees for the Lands Tribunal (the Lands Chamber of the Upper Tribunal).
The Lands Tribunal in England and Wales was established in 1949 to resolve certain disputes concerning land. Its functions were transferred to the Lands Chamber of the Upper Tribunal in June 2009.
The government proposes to increase the level of fee income to recover 50% of the tribunal's running costs. The consultation outlines proposed changes to fees, and gives an option for an alternative basis for calculating some fees.
