Regulation of immigration advisers - Complaints and disciplinary procedures

52: Enforcement of disciplinary sanctions

You could also call this:

“How the Tribunal's rules for immigration advisers are made to work”

You should know about how certain orders made by the Tribunal can be enforced. These orders are about disciplinary actions against immigration advisers. They can be treated like orders from the District Court if someone files a sealed copy there.

The Crown can enforce orders that make someone pay a penalty or cover the costs of an investigation, inquiry, hearing, or related prosecution.

If you’re the person who the order is meant to help, you can enforce orders that make the adviser give you a refund or pay you compensation.

These rules help make sure that the Tribunal’s decisions are followed and carried out properly.
