The text below is from the dated revised snapshot immediately preceding this status change. It is historical and is not current law. View the historical source.

There shall be tribunals to be known as “Conveyancing Appeal Tribunals” which shall hear appeals under this section.

Any person who is aggrieved by any decision of the Board to—

refuse an application for authorisation under section 37;
suspend any authorisation given under section 37;
refuse to lift such a suspension;
revoke any such authorisation; or
impose any condition under section 38,

may appeal to a Conveyancing Appeal Tribunal.

No such decision of the Board shall have effect until—

any appeal against it which is duly made under this section is disposed of; or
the period within which an appeal may be made has expired without an appeal having been made.

Subsection (3) shall not apply where—

the Board is satisfied that the circumstances of the case are exceptional and justify the decision in question taking effect immediately, or earlier than would otherwise be the case; and
notifies the person concerned to that effect.

In this Part a Conveyancing Appeal Tribunal is referred to as “a Tribunal”.

A Tribunal shall consist of a Chairman and two other members appointed by the Secretary of State.

A person is eligible for appointment as Chairman of a Tribunal only if he satisfies the judicial-appointment eligibility condition on a 5-year basis.

Of the other two members of a Tribunal—

one must have experience in, or knowledge of, the provision of conveyancing services; and
the other must have experience in, or knowledge of, accountancy.

The Secretary of State shall appoint a person to be Secretary to the Tribunals.

On receipt of notice of an appeal which is being made to a Tribunal, the Secretary shall inform the Secretary of State and the Secretary of State shall appoint a Tribunal to hear that appeal.

Schedule 6 shall have effect with respect to the Tribunals.
