Vacancy Description
Members will be expected to play an active role on the Tribunal Procedure Committee and to:
- Attend and take an active role in Committee meetings; members will be expected to commit to attending approximately nine committee meetings per year, lasting three to four hours. However, the frequency of meetings can vary according to the need to accommodate the priorities of the work coming before the Committee;
- Members are usually asked to participate in two standing sub-groups which meet frequently. Associated work for these will depend on upcoming work requirements and members will be expected to read and consider papers outside meetings;
- Keep abreast of paperwork and issues relating to the work of the Committee;
- Chair and/or attend sub-committee meetings or meetings with stakeholders;
- Contribute to any reports or documents produced on behalf of the Committee, as required;

- Where practicable and appropriate, hold at least one meeting a year in public;
- Respond appropriately to complaints if necessary with reference to the MoJ;
- Ensure that the Committee does not exceed its powers or functions.
Communications between the Committee and the Lord Chancellor will generally be through the Chair. Nevertheless, any Committee member has the right of access to Ministers on any matter that he or she believes raises important issues relating to his or her duties as a Committee member. In such cases the agreement of the rest of the Committee should normally be sought.
