First-tier Tribunal (General Regulatory Chamber)

 NCN [2025] UKFTT 337 (GRC).

Case No. FT.SL.2024.0079

In the First-tier Tribunal

(General Regulatory Chamber)

Standards & Licensing

 

 

Before:                 Judge Worth

 

Appellant:           Hilmus Alexander

Respondent(s):    (1) Essex Police (2) Avon and Somerset Police

 

It is ordered:-

1.                  The appeal is struck out pursuant to rule 8(2)(a) of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (General Regulatory Chamber) Rules 2009, as amended [1].

 

REASONS

1.                  The Tribunal is a creature of statute, it can do what Parliament has given it power to do, it can do no more or less than that.

2.                  Mr Alexander in November 2024 lodged an appeal with this Tribunal using Form GRC1. By case management directions dated 06 November 2024, Registrar Sunny Bamawo gave Mr Alexander an opportunity to make representations about why Mr Alexander believed this Tribunal has jurisdiction to consider his appeal.

3.                  It appears that no further information has been received from Mr Alexander and no final decision has been made by the Tribunal.

4.                  I have considered the contents of the GRC1 and the supporting documents provided by Mr Alexander. I cannot identify any legislation which grants him a right to appeal to this Tribunal against the complaints he has against Essex Police and/or Avon and Somerset Police.

5.                  I have considered whether this decision should be dealt with at a hearing and consider that there is no requirement to hold a hearing; rule 32(3) permits the Tribunal to dispose of proceedings without a hearing under rule 8.

6.                  Therefore, the appeal must be struck out.

Signed:        Judge Worth

Date:            13 March 2025
