Full judgment
1. The Appellant lodged an appeal using the GRC1 form on 19 July 2025. The appeal was incomplete as the Appellant did not include a copy of the decision notice they sought to challenge.
2. By Directions and email dated 31 July 2025 the Appellant was required to provide a copy of the Decision Notice that it wished to challenge to the Tribunal within 28 days. The Appellant did not comply with that Direction.
3. By Directions dated 25 September 2025 the Appellant was directed by 10 October 2025 to provide a copy of the Decision Notice that it wished to challenge to the Tribunal.
4. The Appellant was directed to note that failure to comply with the Direction could lead to the Tribunal striking out the appeal for failure to comply without further direction.
5. The Appellant provided a further form GRC1 on 3 October 2025, but the covering email for that appeal stated: “ I do not have the original copy of the fine. ”. This second appeal was acknowledged by the Tribunal on 9 October 2025 who informed the Appellant that it would be merged with the first appeal and again informed the Appellant that they must provide a copy of the decision they wish to challenge in order to progress the appeal.
6. No copy of the decision the Appellant wishes to challenge has been received by the Tribunal to date. I conclude that the Appellant has failed to comply with the Direction dated 25 September 2025 and accordingly there are grounds to strike out the appeal.
