Appealing Against a Decision

This page provides information about appealing against the decisions of committees and tribunals.

If you are considering making an appeal you are recommended to seek advice from a solicitor, or a Citizens Advice Bureau ( www.citizensadvice.org.uk - new browser window).

There is no appeal against a decision by a Rent Assessment Committee or Rent Tribunal on the rent payable but there is a right of appeal to the High Court on a point of law. Appeals must be made within 28 days of the receipt of full reasons.

Alternatively, if you consider that there has been a breach of the rules of natural justice, you could seek leave from the High Court to challenge the decision by judicial review.

The right of appeal on Leasehold Valuation Tribunal determinations lies to the Lands Tribunal. Permission to appeal must first be sought from the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal within 14 days of the reasons for the decision being sent. If permission to appeal is granted, the parties may appeal to the Lands Tribunal. If permission to appeal is refused, then a further application may be direct to the Lands Tribunal.
