Alternatives to Courts -Tribunals

Tribunals

The past century has seen considerable growth in the potential for disputes betweem individuals, groups and state agencies. The expansion of agencies created for the emplementation of state interventionist policies, as in the field of welfare provision, has created, in turn, the potential for disputes between individuals and social welfare officials, and between property owners and planning authroities. Frequently, the legislation that established the machinery for implementing such policies has also set up the institutional framework within which disputes in particular fields are to be resolved. It is significant that in many cases, the dispute-solving mechanisms adopted have not been ordinary courts of law, but rather specialised tribunals.

Tribunals are now regulated under the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007
