Case No. FT-PEN-2024-0371 Decision given on: 03 June 2025 | |
 | In the First-tier Tribunal (General Regulatory Chamber) Pensions |
Before: Judge Mornington
Appellant: A Taylor Surfacing
Respondent(s): The Pensions Regulator
Case Management Order
(The Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (General Regulatory Chamber) Rules 2009)
It is ordered:-
1. The Appeal is struck out.
REASONS
On 5 October 2024, the Appellant filed a GRC1 seeking to challenge a decision of the Respondent. This was incomplete because it was not clear whether the appellant has a right of appeal.
On 28 November 2024, the Tribunal gave a Case Management Direction to for the Appellant to provide the “Pensions - right to appeal” form to the Tribunal within 28 days.
On 24 January 2025, the Tribunal issued a further Case Management Direction to the Appellant for him to provide a copy of the form by no later than 7 February 2025. The Appellant was warned that failure to comply with this direction could lead to the Tribunal striking out the appeal.
Under Rule 8(3), the Tribunal may strike out a case where:
the Appellant has failed to comply with a direction which stated that failure by the appellant to comply with the direction could lead to the striking out of the proceedings or part of them; or
the Appellant has failed to co-operate with the Tribunal to such an extent that the Tribunal cannot deal with the proceedings fairly and justly.
Both circumstances are met in this case.
Signed: Judge Mornington
Date: 2 June 2025
