tribunal
“tribunal” means a subordinate court called an Employment Claims Tribunal constituted under section 4 of the State Courts Act 1970;
A District Court or the General Division of the High Court may direct that a stay of execution or enforcement (of an order made by a tribunal) be subject to any conditions that the District Court or the General Division of the High Court thinks fit to impose, including conditions as to costs, payment into a District Court or the General Division of the High Court, or the giving of security.
Any order or direction of a District Court on an application for a stay of execution or enforcement (of an order made by a tribunal) is final and is not subject to any appeal.
The General Division of the High Court may order a stay of execution or enforcement of an order made by a tribunal, or give a direction under subsection (2), only if —
a District Court has given under section 23(2) permission to appeal against the order made by the tribunal; and
no application was made to any District Court for a stay of execution or enforcement of the order made by the tribunal.
