7.—(1) A private landlord on whom a notice under regulation 6(2) has been served may appeal to the First-tier Tribunal against the decision of the local housing authority to take that action."
Presumably this will be the Property Chamber. I find it slightly difficult to see how the FtT could adjudicate at least some cases without an expert member. If a landlord wishes to dispute an EICR, or whether a failure has been remedied, the Tribunal will need to understand the subject.
If specialist electrician members are appointed to the Tribunal, would £250 a day be enough?

Although I am not an electrician I agree competent is not having qualifications alone but without qualifications gained after examination and assessment in my view you cannot be competent. My view is to be competent you need experience, qualifications from a recognized awarding body and integrity. A bit like the 3 legged stool, without all 3 legs it falls over!
