Thomas Liversidge v The City of Wakefield Metropolitan District Council

The Appellant lodged an appeal using the GRC1 form on 28 February 2025. The appeal was incomplete as the Appellant did not include a copy of the decision they sought to challenge, the name, postal address and email address of the Respondent and the result the Appellant is seeking.

The Tribunal wrote to inform the Appellant that the appeal was incomplete on 1 April 2025. The Appellant sent in further documentation in early April including a copy of the decision which the Tribunal accepted. The Tribunal then wrote to the Appellant on 15 May 2025 acknowledging receipt of the decision stating that it could not accept his response in relation to the result the Appellant is seeking as it was written because it needed to be included in form GRC1.

By Directions and an email issued on 11 June 2025 the Appellant was required to provide a copy of the decision to the Tribunal by 9 July 2025 and complete section 8 of the appeal form GRC1.

The Appellant was directed to note that failure to comply with the Direction could lead to the Tribunal striking out the appeal for failure to comply without further direction.

The Appellant failed to comply with the Direction dated 11 June 2025 because he did not submit an amended appeal form with the required information as to the outcome he was seeking and accordingly there are grounds to strike out the appeal.
