It has recently been held that valuer-judges in the Residential Property Tribunal cannot compare their salaries and pensions to the more generous salaries and pensions paid to tax judges. The explanation for this discrepancy is said to be the rag-tag nature, and different histories, of English (and Welsh) tribunals, and the fact that the salaries and pensions of the various tribunal chairs (now called ‘judges’) each ‘developed in different silos’ (Engel v Ministry of Justice, UKEAT 0279/18/LA, UKEAT 0280/18/LA, para [39]). ‘Silos’ are a strange concept to use when discussing legal concepts (as opposed to discussing silage or ballistic missiles), but if ever there was a part of English law which, every day, requires its practitioners to delve into two or more different ‘silos’, that law is housing law.
