The Lands Tribunal was a tribunal in the United Kingdom created by the Lands Tribunal Act 1949 (12, 13 & 14 Geo. 6. c. 42) that had jurisdiction in England and Wales and Northern Ireland, although in the Northern Ireland context the term Lands Tribunal normally refers to a different body, the Lands Tribunal for Northern Ireland.[citation needed] The Lands Tribunal was unusual in having both first instance and appellate jurisdiction.[citation needed] The functions of the Lands Tribunal were transferred to the Upper Tribunal in June 2009 by the Transfer of Tribunal Functions (Lands Tribunal and Miscellaneous Amendments) Order 2009.[1]
