On 3 November 2008, the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act came into force. This created a new two-tier Tribunal system: A First–tier Tribunal and an Upper Tribunal, both of which are split into Chambers. Each Chamber comprises similar jurisdictions or bring together similar types of experts to hear appeals.

The Upper Tribunal primarily, but not exclusively, reviews and decides appeals arising from the First–tier Tribunal.
