Tulun Dogan v The Registrar of Approved Driving Instructors [2026] UKFTT 1066 (GRC)
[1]On 14 May 2026 the Respondent filed an application for the Appellant’s appeal to be struck out pursuant to rule 8(3)(c) of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal)(General Regulatory Chamber) Rules 2009 on the basis that, as the Appellant passed Part 1 of the test on 6 December 2023, he can no longer fulfil the condition contained in regulation 3(4)(c) of the Motor Cars (Driving Instruction) Regulations 2005.[2]By a direction dated 4 June 2026, The Tribunal directed that the Appellant was to notify the Tribunal by 19 June 2026 whether he wished to withdraw his appeal or provide representations as to why the appeal should not be struck out by the same date. The Appellant did not respond.[3]Having considered all the papers in this appeal, I am satisfied that there is no reasonable prospect of the Appeal succeeding because more than two years have elapsed since the Appellant passed Part 1 of the test on 6 December 2023, and accordingly, I find that as a matter of fact he can no longer fulfil the condition contained in regulation 3(4)(c) of the Motor Cars (Driving Instruction) Regulations 2005.[4]The appeal is therefore struck out under Rule 8(3)c because there is no reasonable prospect of it succeeding.
