A number of Tribunals sit in Scotland, covering a wide range of subjects including employment, education, children's hearings, social security and tax. These tribunals sit in various locations across Scotland.
The Scottish Tribunals Service (STS) currently provides the Administrative support for the following Tribunals:
STS is staffed by Civil Servants employed by the Scottish Government and forms a Delivery Unit within the Learning and Justice Directorate General.
Further details of the Tribunals operating in Scotland but supported by the UK Tribunals Service can be found on the Tribunals Service website.
Scottish Ministers are currently in discussions with the UK Government on the possible future devolution of the administration of reserved tribunals.
Most of the tribunals that operate in Scotland are overseen by the Scottish Committee of the Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council, whose statutory role is to keep under review the constitution and working of tribunals operating in Scotland. Further information on Tribunals is contained in the Administrative Justice and Tribunals Council website
