Key: how to read this page

The Bill is shown clause by clause (then Schedule by Schedule). Where a clause or Schedule paragraph amends an existing Act, the affected provision is shown underneath in a shaded box, as it would read once the change is applied: insertions underlined, deletions struck through, pulled from legislation.gov.uk. A clause with no shaded box makes new law of its own rather than amending an existing Act. Text shown lightened and in italics is not yet in force.

An unofficial reading aid: always verify against the Bill and the legislation. Nothing here is legal advice.

new law2 amendments
(1)A party to any proceedings before the IIAA may appeal to the Upper Tribunal on any point of law arising from a decision made by the IIAA in those proceedings.
(2)An appeal may be brought under subsection (1) only if, on an application made by the party concerned, the IIAA or the Upper Tribunal has given its permission for the appeal to be brought.
(3)Section 11A(1) to (4) of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (finality of decisions by Upper Tribunal about permission to appeal) apply in relation to a decision of the Upper Tribunal to refuse permission under subsection (2) as they apply in relation to a decision to refuse permission under section 11(4)(b) of that Act.
(4)Section 12 of the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 (proceedings on appeal to the Upper Tribunal) applies in relation to an appeal to the Upper Tribunal under this section as it applies in relation to an appeal to it under section 11 of that Act, but as if references to the First-tier Tribunal were to the IIAA.
Explanatory Notes · published by the Government with the Bill
77. Subject to permission being given by the IIAA or Upper Tribunal, clause 7 provides for decisions of the IIAA to be appealed to the Upper Tribunal on a point of law. It mirrors the existing onward appeal route from the First-tier Tribunal, allowing the Upper Tribunal to either remake a decision itself or remit the case back to the IIAA for a new decision.
