"Same rights as in District Court"

Illustration for Human Rights Act 1993

You have the same rights and protections as people in the District Court when you are a witness or lawyer at the Tribunal. This means you are treated the same as witnesses and lawyers in the District Court. The law says this to keep you safe while you are at the Tribunal.
