Right to manage cases, which are leasehold disputes, are heard in the First-tier Tribunal Property Chamber. Onward appeals from the First-tier tribunal are to the Upper Tribunal (Lands Chamber). HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) is responsible for the administration of the Property Chamber and the Upper Tribunal (Land Chamber). The number of cases received by the First-tier tribunal and Upper Tribunal is published by the Ministry of Justice Tribunal Statistics (quarterly) on the GOV.UK website at the following address:<\/p>
https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/tribunals-statistics<\/a><\/p> Data specific to right to manage cases is not routinely published. To obtain the information requested would require interrogation of case files within the First-tier tribunal and the Upper tribunal, and quality assurance checks on that data to ensure it is accurate, reliable and in a form suitable for publication. This could only be provided at disproportionate cost.<\/p>"}
