The Asylum and Immigration Tribunal(AIT) is a tribunal constituted in the United Kingdom with jurisdiction to hear appeals from many immigration decisions. It was created on 4 April 2005, replacing the former Immigration Appellate Authority (IAA).
History
Origins The system of appeals to adjudicators (who were appointed by the Secretary of State) with the right of subsequent appeal to the Immigration Appeal Tribunal(IAT) (whose members were appointed by the Lord Chancellor) was first created by the Immigration Appeals Act 1969 (1969 c.21).

Further Appeals Ordinarily, there is no right to appeal a decision of the AIT as such.
The AIT makes most initial decisions through a single immigration judge. Such decisions can be "reconsidered". An order for reconsideration is sought by making a written request to the High Court in England and Wales or the Court of Session (Outer House) in Scotland. For an indefinite period requests for reconsideration orders will be considered initially by Immigration judges of the AIT ("the filter"); should the request be refused a party can "opt-in" to the High Court or Court of Session. Her Majestys High Court of Justice (known more simply as the High Court) is, together with the Crown Court and the Court of Appeal, part of the Supreme Court of Judicature in England and Wales: see Courts of England and Wales. ...

If that request is successful, the case will return to the AIT for a re-hearing before a 3-member panel.
After a re-hearing, or if the AIT which hears a case for the first time has a 3-member panel, the decision may only be challenged by an appeal to the Court of Appeal (Civil Division) in England and Wales, or the Court of Session (Inner House) in Scotland. Permission is required for such an appeal either from the Tribunal itself or the relevant court. Court of Appeals is the title of certain appellate courts in various jurisdictions. ...
