Confirm whether the appeal is withdrawn and if so, if they consent to the appeal being withdrawn without a hearing; orb. Make representations as to why the appeal should not be struck out for failure to comply with a direction of the Tribunal[4]The Appellant was directed to note that failure to comply with either of these Directions could lead to the Tribunal striking out the appeal for failure to comply under Rule 8(3)(a) without further direction.[5]The Appellant failed to comply with the Direction dated 2 October 2025 and accordingly there are grounds to strike out the appeal.
