How we work

How does the AJTC work?

The members of the AJTC meet on a monthly basis.

  • We provide advice and make recommendations on changes to legislation, practice and procedure which will improve the workings of the administrative justice system;
  • We attend proceedings of tribunals (including deliberations) as an observer;
  • We make recommendations on the priorities for Ministry of Justice and other research projects, as well as playing a major role in disseminating, and lending authority to, any research findings;
  • We review the relationships between the various components of the administrative justice system (such as ombudsmen, tribunals and the courts);
  • We may be called to give evidence before Parliamentary Select Committees;
  • We publish a statutory Annual Report to the Lord Chancellor, the Welsh Ministers and the Scottish Ministers, and Special Reports and other guidance on relevant matters;
  • We hold an annual conference for Presidents and Heads of tribunals, academics, the advice sector and others with an interest in administrative justice, and topical workshop events when the need arises;
  • We produce a quarterly electronic newsletter which contains news and views of the wider administrative justice world.
