Case Reference: FT/PEN/2025/0126
Pensions
Decided without a hearing
Before
JUDGE HARRIS
Between
THE REACH FOR HEALTH CENTRE LTD
Appellant
and
THE PENSIONS REGULATOR
Respondent
Decision: The appeal is struck out under rule 8(3)(a) for non-compliance with a Tribunal direction.
REASONS
The Appellant lodged an appeal using the GRC1 form on 16 May 2025. The appeal was incomplete as the Appellant did not include a copy of the decision notice they sought to challenge.
By Directions and email dated 19 May 2025 the Appellant was required to provide a copy of the Decision Notice from the Regulator that it wished to challenge to the Tribunal within 28 days as it was not clear whether there was a right of appeal to the Tribunal. The Appellant did not comply with that Direction.
By Directions dated 11 September 2025 the Appellant was directed by 25 September 2025 to provide a completed copy of the “Pensions - Right to Appeal” form to the Tribunal.
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.
In response to this, the Appellant provided details of payments made and payment arrangements but not a completed copy of the requested form. It remains unclear whether the Appellant has a right of appeal to the Tribunal.
The Appellant failed to comply with the Direction dated 11 September 2025 and accordingly there are grounds to strike out the appeal.
