The proportion of judges sitting on the court.
The greater proportions of judges sit on tribunals. There are more than 60 different tribunals. The work they cover includes mental health, social security, and employment and immigration law. Within those jurisdictions judges hear and decide more than simply legal issues. In Tribunals judges can sit alone or with other tribunal panel members. For example, on appeals from a decision by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to refuse a claimant Disability Living Allowance judges sit with a medically-qualified member, generally a GP or Consultant, and a disability-qualified member who can be a social worker, occupational therapist or physiotherapist. On Employment Tribunals judges sit alone or with panel members who may be from an employers or an employees' organization.
