Before

JUDGE HARRIS

Between

BOKOR AHMED

Appellant

and

THE REGISTRAR OF APPROVED DRIVING INSTRUCTORS

Respondent

Decision: The appeal is struck out under rule 8(3)(a) for non-compliance with a Tribunal direction.

REASONS

1.

The Appellant lodged an appeal using the GRC1 form on 31 October 2025. The appeal was incomplete as the Appellant did not include a copy of the decision notice they sought to challenge.

2.

By Directions and email dated 31 October 2025 the Appellant was required to provide a copy of the Decision Notice that they wished to challenge to the Tribunal within 28 days. The Appellant did not comply with that Direction.

3.

On 16 and 21 November 2025, the Appellant emailed additional information to the Tribunal, but the copy of the Decision Notice was incomplete in that it had no date or signatory.

4.

By Directions dated 12 December 2025 the Appellant was directed by 30 December 2025 to provide a complete dated copy of the Decision Notice that it wished to challenge to the Tribunal.

5.

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.

6.

The Appellant emailed a further copy of the Decision Notice to the Tribunal on 27 December 2025, but again this was incomplete as there was no date or signatory.

7.

The Appellant failed to comply with the Direction dated 12 December 2025 and accordingly there are grounds to strike out the appeal. In addition, the Respondent notified the Tribunal on 12 January 2026 that the Appellant had failed their third attempt at the Part 3 test on 9 January 2026, so there is no reasonable prospect of the appeal succeeding.
