Case Reference: FT/D/2025/0913
Transport
Decided without a hearing
Before
JUDGE HARRIS
Between
KHALID MAHMOOD CHOUHADRY
Appellant
and
THE REGISTRAR OF APPROVED DRIVING INSTRUCTORS
Respondent
Decision: The appeal is struck out under Rule 8(3) because there is no reasonable prospect of it succeeding.
REASONS
The appeal concerns the Appellant’s application for a third trainee licence.
Under Regulation 14(b) of the Motor Cars (Driving Instruction) Regulations 2025 a trainee licence remains in force until the day immediately following the trainee’s third unsuccessful attempt at the instructional ability test.
The Respondent informed the Tribunal by a form GRC5 dated 3 December 2025 that the Appellant failed their third attempt at the instructional ability test on 2 December 2025. Accordingly, the appeal must fail, because the Appellant is no longer eligible to hold a trainee licence. The Respondent applied for the appeal to be struck out.
The Tribunal directed the Appellant on 2 April 2026 and again on 20 May 2026 to provide any submissions as to why the appeal should not be struck out. The Appellant did not respond.
I therefore strike the appeal out under Rule 8(3)(c) because I am satisfied there is no reasonable prospect of it succeeding.
