408: Appeals body members not entitled to compensation

You could also call this:

“Appeals body members can't get extra money due to law changes”

If you are a member of an appeals body, you cannot get any compensation because of changes to the law. This means you won’t get paid extra money for two reasons:

  1. The old law was replaced by a new law called the Immigration Act 2009. Even if this change affected your job, you can’t get money because of it.

  2. If you were supposed to keep working as a member for longer, but can’t because of the new law, you won’t get paid for that time either.

This rule is part of the Immigration Act 2009. It’s in the section about what happens when old laws are replaced by new ones.
