The bespoke process proposed by Amendment 99 would deal with these four issues, allowing for a system in which, for a fee—which I envisage would be in the region of between £10,000 and £20,000 to start off with, although that is not fixed by the amendment—appellants could be guaranteed an inquiry, if they wanted one, on dates which are convenient to the parties, rather than imposed by the inspectorate, with a decision issued no later than five months after the appeal was submitted and determined, I envisage, by an inspector on an A-list of inspectors paid at least the same amount as a First-tier Tribunal judge, which is something between £90,000 and £100,000 a year.
