Bill Hanbury, a barrister at Exchange Chambers, has been invited to become a part time member of the Upper Tribunal of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber (formerly the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal).
On 15 February 2010, Immigration and Asylum Chambers were established in both tiers of the Unified Tribunals Framework created by the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007. The new Chambers replace the existing Asylum and Immigration Tribunal.
The Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) is a superior court of record dealing with appeals against decisions made by the First Tier Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber) and will have the judicial review powers formerly held by the High Court in relation to immigration and asylum decisions.
