Appeal Struck Out: What Happens When You Don't Provide a Valid Decision Notice to the Tribunal?

Processo nº

📌 Em resumo

In this case, the First-tier Tribunal (General Regulatory Chamber) decided to 'strike out' an appeal. This happened because the person bringing the appeal didn't provide a crucial document called a 'Decision Notice'. The Tribunal had asked for this document and warned that the case would be struck out if it wasn't received, but there was no response. Without this notice, the Tribunal couldn't legally hear the case.
