Martin Partington: Spotlight on the Justice System

In this podcast, I talk to Judge Alison McKenna, a judge in the First-Tier General Regulatory Tribunal.

Judge McKenna discusses the specialist work that she does in relation to appeals against decisions by the Charity Commission and explains why this work was removed from the Chancery Division of the High Court to a new Tribunal.

More detail about this work can be found at http://www.justice.gov.uk/guidance/courts-and-tribunals/tribunals/charity/index.htm.

She also reflects more generally on the working of the Tribunals system, and the flexibility the new system gives for her to sit in different tribunals, and also in the Upper Tier Tribunal.
