Full judgment
1. The Appellant lodged a reference using the GRC1 form on 11 November 2025. The reference was incomplete as the Appellant did not include a copy of the decision notice they sought to challenge.
2. By Directions and email dated 14 November the Appellant was required to provide a copy of the Decision Notice that it wished to challenge and a completed “Pensions-Right to Appeal” form to the Tribunal within 28 days. The Appellant did not comply with that Direction.
3. By Directions dated 14 January 2026, the Appellant was directed by 28 January 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 that Direction could lead to the Tribunal striking out the reference for failure to comply without further direction.
5. The Appellant failed to comply with the Direction dated 14 January 2025 and accordingly there are grounds to strike out the reference.
