The Independent Schools Tribunal heard two distinct types of cases, those in which the Secretary of State has imposed a disqualification on an individual teacher and those in which the school itself is alleged to be substandard or not conforming to its particulars of registration. A typical case is that of a teacher who has been disqualified from teaching, following a criminal conviction, but there are occasionally cases where small schools are threatened with closure, unless they can improve their tuition, premises or equipment. Part III of the Education Act 1944 was not brought into operation until 30 September 1957 and the Tribunal heard its first case in 1959.
