Lands Tribunal (Amendment) Rules 2003 (S.I. No. 2945 of 2003). Country/Territory United Kingdom Territorial subdivision England Document type Regulation Date 2003 Source FAO, FAOLEX Subject Land & soil Keyword Court/tribunal Legal proceedings/administrative proceedings Geographical area Atlantic Ocean Islands, Europe, Europe and Central Asia, North Atlantic, North Sea, North-East Atlantic, Northern Europe Entry into force notes Coming into force in accordance with rule 1. Abstract These Rules give effect to section 175 of the Commonhold and Leasehold Reform Act 2002 which provides that permission to appeal to the Lands Tribunal from a leasehold valuation tribunal is required in all cases and that a party may not be ordered to pay costs in such appeals unless the Tribunal considers that he has "acted frivolously, vexatiously, abusively, disruptively or otherwise unreasonably in connection with the appeal" (section 175(6)). In addition minor amendments have been made to the 1996 Rules to bring them in line with the terminology of the 2002 Act. Rule 9 provides that the 1996 Rules shall apply to appeals commenced before the coming into force of section 175 in relation to Wales as if these Rules had not been made. This rule will ensure that the existing Rules shall continue to apply to appeals commenced before the coming into force of section 175 in relation to Wales.
