The Appellant was directed to note that failure to comply with that Direction could lead to the Tribunal striking out the reference for failure to comply without further direction. © CROWN COPYRIGHT 2025 5. The Appellant failed to comply with the Direction dated 18 December 2025 and accordingly there are grounds to strike out the reference. Signed: Judge Harris Date: 7 January 2026 2
