Fozia Khuram v The Registrar of Approved Driving Instructors [2025] UKFTT 614 (GRC)
[2]On 19 November 2024, the Appellant filed a GRC1 seeking to challenge a decision of the Respondent. This was incomplete because it did not include a copy of the decision they sought to challenge.[3]On 6 December 2024, the Tribunal gave a Case Management Direction to provide a copy of the decision that the Appellant sought to challenge within 28 days.[4]On 20 March 2025, the Tribunal issued a further Case Management Direction to the Appellant to provide a copy of the decision they seek to challenge by no later than 3 April 2025. The Appellant was warned that failure to comply with this direction could lead to the Tribunal striking out the appeal.[5]Rule 22(3) requires the Appellant to provide a copy of any written record of the decision they seek to challenge by way of their appeal.[6]Under Rule 8(3), the Tribunal may strike out a case where;(a) the Appellant has failed to comply with a direction which stated that failure by the appellant to comply with the direction could lead to the striking out of the proceedings or part of them; or(b) the Appellant has failed to co-operate with the Tribunal to such an extent that the Tribunal cannot deal with the proceedings fairly and justly.[7]Both circumstances are met in this case and the appeal is therefore struck out.
