However, an appeal to the Tribunal can only arise either where a request for a review has been made within 28 days of the penalty and the penalty upheld or a request for a review has been declined.

6. As at today's date, no reply has been received.

It is ORDERED that:

7. The appeal will be struck out as the Tribunal lacks jurisdiction to deal with the appeal (no review having been requested) and for failure to comply with the directions of the Tribunal.
