The First-Tier Tribunal was estabished in 2008 under the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007, taking on the functions of various previous tribunals. Since 2011, it has been administered by HM Courts and Tribunals Service. The First-Tier Tribunal mainly hears appeals from citizens against decisions made by government departments or agencies although proceedings in the Property Chamber are on a party-v-party basis. Appeals against decisions of the First-Tier Tribunal are heard by the Upper Tribunal.
Many tribunal decisions have been routinely published on the tribunals' websites. Decisions have also been re-published by legal publishers. The British and Irish Legal Information Institute (BAILII), founded in 2000, became one of the largest and most popular sources of freely-available case law information.
In June 2021, the Ministry of Justice made a policy announcement that The National Archives was to store, preserve and publish court judgments and tribunal decisions for England and Wales. An Alpha version of the publication service was launched in April 2022.
The Open Justice Licence was created in 2022 to support the re-use of information from published case law.
