Transitional Arrangements
On 15 Feb 2010 the AIT transferred into the new Tribunal structure. This page gives information on where in the new structure your appeal has been transferred to if it is currently outstanding.
If, on 15 February 2010:
Your appeal is with the AIT waiting to be heard for the first time by an Immigration Judge.
Your appeal will become an appeal before the Immigration and Asylum Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal. If you wish to challenge the Immigration Judge’s decision it will be by way of application to the First-tier Tribunal for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal.
Your appeal has been heard for the first time by an Immigration Judge and you are waiting for the decision.
When you receive the decision it will be treated as a decision from the Immigration and Asylum Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal. This means that if you wish to challenge the decision it will be by way of application to the First-tier Tribunal for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal.
You have received your decision and wish to challenge it, but have not yet done so.
The decision will be treated as made by the Immigration and Asylum Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal. This means that if you wish to challenge the decision it will be by way of application to the First-tier Tribunal for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal.
You have made a section 103A application for reconsideration of the AIT’s decision, but have not received the outcome of that application.
Your application for reconsideration is before the appropriate court, but no decision has yet been taken.
The application will continue to be dealt with as current arrangements for section 103A applications for that court, and a decision taken in due course. Any order made by the court after 15 Feb 2010 will be treated as an order granting permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal.
The application will be treated as application to the First-tier Tribunal for permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal and processed accordingly.
You have received notification that your application under section 103A for reconsideration has been granted, but reconsideration has not yet taken place.
Your appeal will be treated as having been granted permission to appeal to the Upper Tribunal and listed accordingly.
The reconsideration process has commenced for your appeal, but has not yet been finally determined.
Your appeal will become an appeal before the Immigration and Asylum Chamber of the Upper Tribunal.
Your appeal has been heard on reconsideration and you wish to challenge the decision.
Your appeal will be treated as though the decision was made by the Upper Tribunal and if you want to challenge it you will need to apply to the Upper Tribunal for permission to appeal to the appropriate court (in England and Wales this is the Court of Appeal, in Scotland the Court of Session, and in Northern Ireland the Court of Appeal in Northern Ireland).
Your case has been remitted to the AIT by the appropriate appellate court for rehearing but you are waiting for a hearing date.
The remitted hearing will be listed to be reheard by the Upper Tribunal.
Your appeal is in the reconsideration process and has an outstanding cost order decision to be made.
Cost orders will not be made in the case of new appeals, but in your circumstances the previous cost order regime will apply until your case is finally determined and a decision as to funding has been made.
