We do everything we can to avoid unnecessary delay in the Immigration and Asylum Tribunal, and have provided an additional 4,950 tribunal sitting days for this financial year to ensure current case loads do not increase. We are keeping performance under close review and are confident there is sufficient capacity to deal with the number of appeals we expect to receive.
The number of appeals since October 2015, both lodged and outstanding, in First-tier immigration appeals are in the table below:
Appeals Lodged | Outstanding | |
