Lands Tribunal
The Lands Tribunal was established by the Lands Tribunal Act 1949 to determine questions of disputed compensation arising out of the compulsory acquisition of land; to decide rating appeals; to exercise jurisdiction under section 84 of the Law of Property Act 1925 (discharge and modification of restrictive covenants); and to act as arbitrator under references by consent. Under the 1949 Act other jurisdictions may be added, and a number have been since the Tribunal came into existence on 1 January 1950. The Tribunal's jurisdiction is exercised in England and Wales.

The Tribunal is a court of law, and appeal from its decisions lies to the Court of Appeal. Cases are usually heard by a single Member, but they may sometimes be heard by two Members (where substantial issues of both law and valuation arise, a lawyer and a valuer) or, in exceptional cases, by three members.
