This consultation concerns a proposed amendment to rule 22 of the Upper Tribunal Rules 2008. Accordingly, Upper Tribunal Judges deciding permission to appeal (PTA) applications (or an application to admit a late application for PTA) on the papers will be conferred a power to certify an application (or part of it) as being “totally without merit”. Consequently, the applicant would not be allowed to renew the application (or that part of it) at an oral hearing

Responses to the consultation will be considered by the TPC.
