Detail of outcome
Reply to Consultation on possible amendments to the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Health Education and Social Care Chamber) Rules 2008 regarding proposed changes to whether Special Educational Needs appeals can be dealt with on the papers without the consent of both parties.
Having considered carefully the responses to the consultation the Tribunal Procedure Committee propose to make an amendment to Rule 23 of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Health Education and Social Care Chamber) Rules 2008 for appeals against decisions to refuse to carry out an assessment of needs by removing the application of Rule 23(1)(a) of the 2008 HESC Rules for these Refusal Appeals. This change would leave the matter of whether a decision should be made on the papers or at a hearing, in Refusal Appeals, entirely to judicial discretion.
