Two consultations took place in 2023 and 2024 respectively, seeking views on a proposal to change rule 35 of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Health, Education and Social Care Chamber) Rules 2008 by amending the restriction on cases that can be decided without a hearing.

The TPC propose to amend Rule 35 of the FtT HESC 2008 rules by amending the restriction on cases that can be decided without a hearing so that cases involving hospital-based patients who have been referred to the Tribunal and do not wish to attend can be decided on paper.
