Following the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007, the first Senior President of Tribunals, Sir Robert Carnwath CVO, talks about his role and the future of the tribunal system.
“Tribunals are a vital but distinct part of the independent civil justice system. Their members - commissioners, adjudicators, panellists or whatever - are in truth full members of the independent judiciary, no less than court judges. Only through a unified structure can these special attributes be recognised and developed.”
