Our responsibilities

We make rules with the aim of ensuring that:
- tribunals are accessible and fair
- cases are quick and efficient
- rules are simple and clear
We also carry out consultations (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications?keywords=&publication_filter_option=consultations&topics%5B%5D=all&departments%5B%5D=tribunal-procedure-committee&official_document_status=all&world_locations%5B%5D=all&from_date=&to_date=) on proposed changes to the rules.
