Appeals: How long they take. We've published the most recent data on average appeal handling times based on last month's decisions. Entries marked with an asterisk symbol (*) indicate fewer than 20 decisions, and therefore the less helpful the mean and median are as measures for summarising performance. The times given here are measured from the time an appeal which we are able to progress (‘valid’) to the time a decision is issued.

I don't usually like to vent about my own files, but sometimes I gotta let loose. My client's ex obtained an ex parte protection order in Provincial Court last month, that (to me at least) seemed plainly without basis. The protection order provides that my client can apply to set it aside on seven days notice to the ex. We promptly applied to set it aside, but the date provided by the registry for the hearing was a month later. We attended today, and the providing judge promptly adjourned over to the judicial case manager to set a further and longer hearing date, presumably at some point in 2024... I don't blame the judge, or the registry, as court time is rare and valuable. But there is simply no practical and timely way to have a protection order set aside in Provincial Court, even though the orders themselves typically contemplate a seven day turnaround to a comeback date. If the Court can't actually accommodate a timely comeback date, then (1) it needs to be extremely cautious in granting these orders ex parte; and (2) the order granted shouldn't provide for a comeback date that is never realistically going to happen. Vent over.

There is something broken in the system, when nearly £100 million is spent on Tribunals instead of on the provision that is needed for our young people. This is not insurmountable, if new parameters are set to prevent this illogical practice. This must form part of SEND reform. A new system must be focussed around the provision being continually improved rather than barriers to access this. Imagine what £100 million could do in terms of provision across the UK.
