Kevin Martin Scott v The Information Commissioner [2026] UKFTT 56 (GRC)
[1]The Appellant lodged an appeal using the GRC1 form on 1 November 2025. The appeal was incomplete as the Appellant did not include a dated copy of the decision notice they sought to challenge and several parts of the form GRC1 were not completed, including the statement of truth.[2]By Directions and email dated 5 November 2025 the Appellant was required to provide a copy of the Decision Notice that they wished to challenge to the Tribunal and a completed form GRC1 within 28 days. The Appellant did not comply with that Direction. The Appellant emailed supplementary information to the Tribunal on 5 and 6 November 2025, but not a fully completed GRC1 form or a copy of the Decision being appealed stating there is a right of appeal to the Tribunal.[3]By Directions dated 12 December 2025 the Appellant was directed by 30 December 2025 to provide a copy of the Decision Notice that it wished to challenge and a completed GRC1 form to the Tribunal.[4]The Appellant was directed to note that failure to comply with this Direction could lead to the Tribunal striking out the appeal for failure to comply without further direction.[5]The Appellant emailed the Tribunal with further supplementary information on 18 December 2025, but has not as yet sent either a copy of the decision under challenge or a completed form GRC1.[6]The Appellant failed therefore to comply with the Direction dated 12 December 2025 and accordingly there are grounds to strike out the appeal.
