Transport
Before
TRIBUNAL JUDGE SHENAZ MUZAFFER
between
MONSOR ALAM
Appellant
and
THE REGISTRAR OF APPROVED DRIVING INSTRUCTORS
Respondent
Decision: Consent is given to the Appellant to withdraw the appeal.
REASONS
The case was listed for an appeal against a decision of the Registrar of Approved Driving Instructors (“the Registrar”) made on 19 November 2024 to refuse to grant the Appellant a second trainee licence. The appeal was listed via CVP on 13 May 2025.
Neither party attended the hearing. I was satisfied that both parties were aware of the hearing and that it was in the interests of justice to proceed with the hearing in the absence of both parties.
At 08:33 hours on 13 May 2025, the Appellant sent an email to the Tribunal and to the DVSA, notifying the Tribunal and the DVSA that “I am pleased to inform you that I successfully passed my part 3 yesterday. As a result, the appeal process will no longer be necessary”.
Rule 17 of The Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal)(General Regulatory Chamber) Rules 2009 states:
Withdrawal
Subject to paragraph (2), a party may give notice of the withdrawal of its case, or any part of it –
By sending or delivering to the Tribunal a written notice of withdrawal; or
Orally at a hearing.
Notice of withdrawal will not take effect unless the Tribunal consents to the withdrawal.
The Tribunal hereby consents to the withdrawal by the Appellant of his appeal.
The withdrawal shall take effect immediately on promulgation of this Decision.
