The pre-hearing Case Management Direction (CMD)

On 24 September 2025 a CMD, prepared by a Legal Officer of the General Regulatory Chamber (‘GRC’) of the First-tier Tribunal, was forward to the parties to the appeal proceedings, including the Appellant.

The CMD stated the following:

‘1. The Respondent has informed the Tribunal that you have failed in yourfinal attempt at the Part 3 Test, that is the practical instructional ability and fitness test.

The Tribunal can only do what Parliament allows. Parliament has decided that a person cannot hold a trainee licence once they have, on three occasions, failed to pass the instructional ability and fitness test.

Therefore, the Tribunal is considering striking out your appeal on the ground of lack of reasonable prospects of your appeal succeeding pursuant to Rule 8(3)(c) of The Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (General Regulatory Chamber) Rules 2009. Before the Tribunal considers whether to strike out your appeal Rule 8(4) provides an opportunity for you to provide representations.

By no later than 08 October 2025 you should provide to the Tribunal:

4.1

Any representations as to why you consider the Tribunal should not strike out your appeal; OR

4.2

Confirmation you wish to withdraw your appeal.

A Registrar, Judge or Legal Officer will consider your appeal again on a date after 08 October 2025.’
