I am trying to identify which Coronavirus PDs are still in force. In particular, “Amended General Pilot Practice Direction: Contingency Arrangements in the First-Tier Tribunal and the Upper Tribunal” was extended to Sept. 2021, but I cannot find a reference to a further extension. Has it lapsed?

I can’t find any current coronavirus PDs online.

The most relevant published thing seems to be [Mental Health Tribunal, ‘Advice to representatives on the listing of Mental Health Tribunal hearings after 18 September 2021 and the return of PHEs’ (Sarah Johnston, 9/9/21)](https://www.mentalhealthlaw.co.uk/Mental_Health_Tribunal,_%27Advice_to_representatives_on_the_listing_of_Mental_Health_Tribunal_hearings_after_18_September_2021_and_the_return_of_PHEs%27_(Sarah_Johnston,_9/9/21)) which states that another PD, [Amended Pilot Practice Direction: Health, Education and Social Care Chamber of the First-Tier Tribunal (Mental Health) (18/3/21)](https://www.mentalhealthlaw.co.uk/Amended_Pilot_Practice_Direction:_Health,_Education_and_Social_Care_Chamber_of_the_First-Tier_Tribunal_(Mental_Health)_(18/3/21)), was not going to be extended.

I guess that they just let everything lapse back in September.

What conclusions did you reach? Thanks.
