The Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) is a first-instance tribunal and superior court of record in the United Kingdom. It is primarily an inquisitorial court.[1]
It hears complaints about surveillance by public bodies, primarily the intelligence services. It does not hear complaints about surveillance by private bodies.[2]
It is a part of the Home Office but operates independently.[3] It is also separate from the administration of the rest of the UK tribunals system.[1]
