Where a person makes a claim for a particular social security
benefit, such as unemployment benefit, a local officer may
in certain circumstances refuse payment or refer the claim
to a local tribunal if there is a doubt whether it should
be paid. Where benefit is refused, the claimant has a right
to appeal to the tribunal.
The tribunal is composed of three persons, the first a qualified
lawyer, the second a person representing employers and the
third a person representing employees. The tribunal will decide
the appeal in favour of either the insurance officer or the
claimant, but the unsuccessful party may then appeal further
to a National Insurance Commissioner. A Commissioner is either
a barrister or a solicitor of at least ten years’ standing
and his decision is usually binding. It is possible, however,
for a person to appeal to the High Court from the decision
of a Commissioner on a matter of law, and if the record discloses
an error of law, certiorari lies to quash it.
