NCN: [2026] UKFTT 00333 (GRC) First-tier Tribunal (General Regulatory Chamber) Transport Case Reference: FT/D/2025/1393 Decided without a hearing Decision given on: 05 March 2026 Before JUDGE HARRIS Between ABDULASIIS ABDULAHI MAHAMUD and THE REGISTRAR OF APPROVED DRIVING INSTRUCTORS Appellant Respondent Decision: The appeal is struck out under rule 8(3)(a) for non-compliance with a Tribunal direction. REASONS 1. The Appellant lodged an appeal using the GRC1 form on 11 December 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 12 December 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 20 January 2026, the Appellant was directed by 3 February 2026 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. © CROWN COPYRIGHT 2025 5. On 30 January 2026 the Appellant sent a copy of a screenshot to the Tribunal of an email dated 19 November 2025. This was not a copy of the decision the Appellant sought to challenge, but confirmation from the Respondent that the Appellant had not appealed the decision to revoke their licence within the prescribed time and that accordingly the revocation had taken effect. 6. The Appellant failed to comply with the Direction dated 20 January 2026 in that they have not provided a copy of the decision they wish to challenge, and accordingly there are grounds to strike out the appeal.
