Sayed Sais v Registrar of Approved Driving Instructors

This appeal came before me by way of a Strike-out request made by the Respondent dated 15 May 2026 on the basis that the appeal had no reasonable prospect of success, pursuant to Rule 8(3)(c) of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (General Regulatory Chamber) Rules 2009 (‘the Rules’), the Respondent having confirmed that the Appellant have failed their Part 3 test for the third time (instructional ability) on 14 May 2026, the maximum number of attempts permitted by statute and, pursuant to Regulation 14(b) of the Motor Cars (Driving Instruction) Regulations 2005 (‘the Regulations’), a trainee licence can only remain in force until the day immediately following the Appellant’s 3^rd unsuccessful attempt.

On 4 June 2026, Case Management Directions were issued by the Tribunal’s Senior Legal Officer inviting the Appellant to make any representations, by 19 June 2026, as to why this appeal should not be struck out in those circumstances or to confirm

Accordingly, this appeal is struck out, with immediate effect, pursuant to Rule 8(3)(c) of the Rules, as having no reasonable prospect of success, the Appellant having been warned that this might occur, due to the failure to pass Part 3 of the qualifying test for Approved Driving Instructors (instructional ability) for the third time.
