The Upper Tribunal has the function of deciding applications transferred to it from the Court of Session under section 20(1).
The powers of review of the Upper Tribunal in relation to such applications are the same as the powers of review of the Court of Session in an application to the supervisory jurisdiction of that Court.
In deciding an application by virtue of subsection (1), the Upper Tribunal must apply principles that the Court of Session would apply in deciding an application to the supervisory jurisdiction of that Court.
An order of the Upper Tribunal by virtue of subsection (1)—
Where an application is transferred to the Upper Tribunal by virtue of section 20(1), any steps taken or orders made by the Court of Session in relation to the application (other than the order to transfer the application under section 20(1)) are to be treated as taken or made by the tribunal.
Tribunal Procedure Rules may make further provision for the purposes of supplementing subsection (5).
