Case Reference: FT/PEN/2025/0252
Pensions
Decided without a hearing
Before
JUDGE HARRIS
Between
CARING SPIRIT GROUP LIMITED
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 a reference using the GRC1 form on 11 November 2025. The reference was incomplete as it was not clear from the provided documents that the Appellant had a right of appeal to the Tribunal.
By Directions and email dated 14 November the Appellant was required to provide a copy of the Decision Notice that it wished to challenge and a completed “Pensions-Right to Appeal” form to the Tribunal within 28 days. The Appellant did not comply with that Direction.
By Directions dated 9 January 2026, the Appellant was directed by 23 January 2026 to provide a copy of the Decision Notice that it wished to challenge to the Tribunal.
The Appellant was directed to note that failure to comply with that Direction could lead to the Tribunal striking out the reference for failure to comply without further direction.
The Appellant failed to comply with the Direction dated 9 January 2026 and accordingly there are grounds to strike out the reference.
