Book Description
This review of tribunals, the first for 44 years, examines the 70 different administrative tribunals in England and Wales. They deal with over a million cases a year, employ over 3500 people, and have become a substantial part of the system of justice. Yet, of the 70, only 20 each hear more than 500 cases a year; others are defunct; the quality of their work is variable; and cases take too long. The review has as its four main objectives: (1) to make the 70 tribunals into one Tribunals Service; (2) to make the tribunals independent of their sponsoring departments; (3) to improve the training of chairmen and members in the interpersonal skills required; (4) to enable unrepresented users to participate effectively and without apprehension in tribunal proceedings. The new Tribunals Service would provide a coherence essential if tribunals are to acquire a collective standing to match that of the court system. But there is also a basic need for a change in culture, with a greater focus on the users' needs, and swifter administration based on informality, simplicity, efficiency and proportionality. Without this culture change, the Review questions how tribunals can, as presently administered, find the independence, coherence, economies of scale, consistency, professionalism or IT, to which users are entitled.

Book Description
Among the many constitutional developments of the past century or so, one of the most significant has been the creation and proliferation of institutions that perform functions similar to those performed by courts but which are considered to be, and in some ways are, different and distinct from courts as traditionally conceived. In much of the common law world, such institutions are called 'administrative tribunals'. Their main function is to adjudicate disputes between citizens and the state by reviewing decisions of government agencies - a function also performed by courts in 'judicial review' proceedings and appeals. Although tribunals in aggregate adjudicate many more such disputes than courts, tribunals and their role as dispensers of 'administrative justice' receive relatively little scholarly attention. This wide-ranging book-length treatment of the subject compares tribunals in three major jurisdictions: Australia the UK and the US. It analyses and offers an account of the concept of 'administrative adjudication', and traces its historical development from the earliest periods of the common law to the twenty-first century. There are chapters dealing with the design of tribunals and tribunal systems and with what tribunals do, what they are for and how they interact with their users. The book ends with a discussion of the place of tribunals in the 'administrative justice system' and speculation about possible future developments. Administrative Tribunals and Adjudication fills a significant gap in the literature and will be of great value to public lawyers and others interested in government accountability.

Book Description
Available Open Access under CC-BY-NC licence Effective participation in court and tribunal hearings is regarded as essential to justice, yet many barriers limit the capacity of defendants, parties and witnesses to participate. Featuring policy analysis, courtroom observations and practitioners’ voices, this significant study reveals how participation is supported in the courts and tribunals of England and Wales. Including reflections on changes to the justice system as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it also details the socio-structural, environmental, procedural, cultural and personal factors which constrain participation. This is an invaluable resource that makes a compelling case for a principled, explicit commitment to supporting participation across the justice system of England and Wales and beyond.

Book Description
International courts and tribunals are key actors in international law, both because of their primary dispute resolution function and for their role in developing international law in a more general sense. Their growing number and complexity makes a detailed study of their practice particularly relevant. The Rules, Practice, and Jurisprudence of International Courts and Tribunals examines existing international dispute resolution institutions, including those of general jurisdiction (ICJ, PCA), specialised jurisdiction (ITLOS, ICSID, WTO), as well as human rights courts, international criminal courts and tribunals, courts of regional integration agreements, claims commissions and tribunals, and administrative tribunals of international organizations. Uniquely, it assesses both procedural rules and essential case-law, making it relevant for both academics and practitioners in international law.
