However, in this regard, the Carltona principle is still in place in the schedule; I am thinking in particular of general staff, as in paragraph 8(2) of Schedule 1. It will not apply in respect of only two specific functions: appointments to the list of people who are eligible to be panel members; and the determination of the right to appeal through Clause 18, which is where the person applying will say, “I think it’s been unfair and irrational”, and the commissioner will then make a decision, without a hearing, on whether to refer them to another panel in future. There are key elements here that would require this role to be done by a lawyer, which is why I am keen to make sure that the Lord Chancellor is in charge.
