Decision given on: 07 April 2026
Before
JUDGE HARRIS
Between
CHERRYBELL LIMITED
Appellant
and
THE PENSIONS REGULATOR
Respondent
Decision: The reference is struck out under rule 8(3)(a) for non-compliance with a Tribunal direction.
REASONS
The Appellant lodged a reference using the GRC1 form on 12 February 2026. The appeal was incomplete as the Appellant did not include a copy of the decision notice they sought to challenge.
By Directions and email dated 12 February 2026, 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.
By Directions dated 27 February 2026, the Appellant was directed by 13 March 2026 to provide a copy of the Decision Notice that it wished to challenge to the Tribunal.
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.
The Appellant failed to comply with the Direction dated 27 February 2026 and accordingly there are grounds to strike out the appeal.
