centralisation of admiin at HMCTS
can anyone recall when the administration of Tribunals was centralised?
2007/8 in the wake of the Tribunals, Courts & Enforcement Act 2007
It depends what you mean by “centralisation” but the Tribunals Service as an executive agency of what is now the Ministry of Justice came into being in April 2006. It took over all the biggest tribunal systems at that point though some smaller tribunals joined later.
Clerks currently being relocated to regional centres. Source of massive confusion; general incompetence and low morale from several accounts I’ve had.
Thanks everyone for your replies. What I meant by “centralisation” was the point when routine enquiries were dealt with centrally rather than by the local Tribunal venue.
