Case Review Form
The Tribunal has introduced a new “Case Review Form” to assist with case management. The Case Review form now replaces the Attendance Form.
Its purpose is to help the Tribunal manage cases as efficiently as possible, by getting an update on the case and to see if there has been any progress on agreeing issues that were in dispute ahead of the hearing.
When you are told to complete this form, you will also use it to update the Tribunal and local authority about who is attending the hearing (instead of an Attendance Form).
The Tribunal will tell you if you need to use this and send it to you to complete by a set date.
If you are not sure if you need to use the form, check the letter and any Directions (Orders) you have received from the Tribunal. If you are told to use the form but don’t receive one, contact the tribunal to request it.
The Case Review Form is a WORD document, and you can type into the boxes. The Form must be completed before the Bundle is due. The date for this is in your Registration letter.
For information on how to complete the form read our Case Review Form Fact Sheet
