UK Upper Tribunal

The UK Upper Tribunal is an independent court that reviews decisions made by lower courts or administrative bodies in specific legal areas, such as immigration, social security, and tax. Its role is to ensure that decisions are fair, lawful, and based on proper procedures. The tribunal doesn't re-try cases like a regular court but examines whether the original decision was correct and legally sound. It provides a higher level of scrutiny and helps protect individuals’ rights by offering a formal process for challenging and appealing decisions made by government agencies.
