Khadijah Khaled v The Registrar of Approved Driving Instructors [2025] UKFTT 951 (GRC)
[1]The appeal concerns the Appellant’s application for a third trainee licence.[2]The Respondent applied by way of form GRC5 on 9 July 2025 to strike out the appeal under Rule 8(3)(c) of the Tribunal Procedure rules on the basis that there was no reasonable prospect of it succeeding.[3]Under Regulation 14(b) of the Motor Cars (Driving Instruction) Regulations 2025 a trainee licence remains in force until the day immediately following the trainee’s third unsuccessful attempt at the instructional ability test.[4]The Respondent informed the Tribunal in its form GRC5 that the Appellant failed their third attempt at the instructional ability test on 8 July 2025. Accordingly, the appeal must fail, because the Appellant is no longer eligible to hold a trainee licence.[5]I therefore strike the appeal out under Rule 8(3)(c) because I am satisfied there is no reasonable prospect of it succeeding.
