2. The Respondent, on 23 May 2025, made application, accompanied by a Declaration of Truth, to have this appeal struck out pursuant to Rule 8(3)(a) of the Rules as having no reasonable prospect of success since the Appellant had, on 22 May 2025, failed her third attempt to pass her Part 3 test to become a fully qualified Approved Driving Instructor.

4. I have considered the matter and had regard to the overriding objective that requires the Tribunal to deal with appeals fairly and justly.
