Senior President of Tribunals - Annual Report 2011

Since my first report there have been four particularly signifcant government announcements: the integration of HM Courts Service (HMCS) and the Tribunals Service (TS) to form a single administrative agency (which the previous Government announced in March 2010); the intention to create a single head of the judiciary (a written ministerial statement by the Lord Chancellor in September); the abolition of the Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council(in October); and the consultation documents.
