JUDGE BUCKLEY

Between

NABIL ADISA

Appellant

and

REGISTRAR OF APPROVED DRIVING INSTRUCTORS

Respondent

Decision: The appeal is struck out under rule 8(3)(c) of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (General Regulatory Chamber) Procedural Rules 2009.

REASONS

1.

In order to qualify as an Approved Driving Instructor, applicants must pass the Qualifying Examination. This comprises: the written examination (‘Part 1’); the driving ability and fitness test (‘Part 2’); and the instructional ability and fitness test (‘Part 3’).

2.

The whole examination must be completed within 2 years of passing Part 1 (unless the Part 3 test has been booked before the expiry of 2 years) failing which the whole examination has to be retaken. Three attempts are permitted at each part.

3.

The Appellant failed his third and final attempt at his Part 3 test on 17 December 2025.

4.

This tribunal has no jurisdiction to permit a fourth attempt at the Part 3 test.

5.

The appellant was invited to respond to the strike out application by 6 January 2026 by an order sent to the parties on 29 December 2025. No response has been received.

6.

I find that the appeal has no reasonable prospects of success and it is struck out.
