First-tier Tribunal
(General Regulatory Chamber)
Pensions

		Decided without a hearing Heard on: 29th April 2025
		Given On: 30/04/2025

Decision: The appeal is struck out under Rule 8(3)(a)

REASONS
1. On 8^th July 2024, the Appellant was directed to provide the Tribunal with the 'Pensions – Right to Appeal' form no later than 22^nd July 2024. The following was set out within those Case Management Directions:

"The Appellant is asked to note that failure to comply with the direction … could lead to the Tribunal striking out this appeal for failure to comply pursuant to Rule 8(3)(a) of The Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (General Regulatory) Rules 2009 without further direction."

2. Unfortunately, a copy of that form was not sent to the Appellant until 22^nd October 2025, when District Judge Watkin made new directions which allowed for that oversight and duly extended the time for compliance with that earlier direction until 30^th October 2024. A copy of the 'Pensions – Right to Appeal' form was sent to the Appellant with those amended directions.
3. There has been no response from the Appellant, nor has a completed Pensions Right to Appeal form been provided to the Tribunal at any stage.
4. The appeal is therefore struck out under Rule 8(3(a).
5. The Appellant may apply to the Tribunal under Rule 8(5) for the proceedings to be reinstated, but any application must be made in writing and be received by the Tribunal no later than 5pm on 27^th May 2025 (Rule 8(6)).

Signed: Judge Armstrong-Holmes

Date: 29^th April 2025
