New Guidance on Remote Hearings in Immigration Tribunals
· WOWERI
The UK judiciary has updated its guidance on remote hearings, affecting immigration proceedings.
Introduction
The UK judiciary has published updated guidance on remote hearings for the First-tier Tribunal and the Upper Tribunal. These guidelines supersede all previous guidance. The changes follow a cross-jurisdictional review of the use of remote participation in proceedings commissioned by the Lady Chief Justice.
Key Changes
The Upper Tribunal and the First-tier Tribunal approach remote hearings differently. In the Upper Tribunal, remote hearings are the exception, while in the First-tier Tribunal, they are the norm.
Impact on Immigration Cases
