(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations correct an error in regulation 5(1)(b) of the Valuation Tribunal for England (Membership and Transitional Provisions) Regulations 2009. That provision currently disqualifies a person for membership of the Valuation Tribunal for England ("VTE") after 1st October 2009 if the person or their spouse or civil partner is a member of the Valuation Tribunal Service or of its staff. The amendment made by regulation 2 of these Regulations limits disqualification to persons who are, or whose spouse or civil partner is, a member of the VTE´s staff.
An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no impact on the private or voluntary sector is foreseen.
