Appealing to upper tribunal - need urgent guidance - please!

[Minibits]

If I understand your post correctly, the error of law is the fact that the FTT went ahead without hearing your son (as they did in the first tribunal).

 

Here's a quote from Disabilityrightsuk .org:

 

"VI. breach of ‘the rules natural justice – This includes failing to follow FTT procedure, for example failing to give parties 14 days’ notice of an oral appeal hearing or failing to inform parties that it intends to take into account a matter not addressed in the appeal papers or during the hearing. It also includes failure to follow the procedural rules for all judicial process, for example bias or not allowing a party to speak."

 

In the first instance, I would use this as your reason for appealing.

Hi Nadia,

Sorry I didn't see your previous post. I sincerely wish I could help you more, but I think id6052 is correct, in that you will ultimately need a legal advisor, if you get to the UT.

 

I can say though, that firstly, you are right and you have to ask for leave to appeal to the FTT. If that fails, then you apply to the UT, and I believe id6052 has supplied links to those for you. I am pretty sure they will be included in the decision letter from the FFT, if they refuse leave.

 

All the very best to you, and please ask for any further advice, as you never know who is reading and who may have the information you need.
