Andrew Bano believes that this arrangement has many advantages: “On the one hand, we are small enough to respond flexibly and effectively to the individual needs of our users; on the other, as a member of the much larger family of tribunals, we are in a position ‘ without in any way compromising our identity or distinctive approach ‘ to utilise the resources which are available within the new unified tribunal system.’

Andrew is enthusiastic about the Chamber’s future. “I
think we stand to gain tremendously from the tribunal reform programme. As an
Upper Tribunal judge, I see my role as to provide judicial leadership,
following the trend of recent appointments in the tribunal system.’
Challenges for the future include maintaining the service expertise of the jurisdiction given that National Service ended in 1960, and Andrew sees the voluntary and reserve forces as a possible source of recruitment for the future.
