Tribunal

A tribunal is a type of body established to settle disputes or make decisions on specific legal issues. Unlike traditional courts, tribunals often focus on particular areas, such as immigration, employment, or human rights. They are designed to be more accessible and less formal, allowing individuals to present their cases with less legal jargon. Tribunals typically have officials or judges who listen to both sides, review evidence, and then make a ruling. Their decisions can often be appealed, ensuring a system of checks and balances similar to that of courts.
