Case Reference: FT.PEN.2024.0325
First-tier Tribunal
(General Regulatory Chamber)
Pensions
Decided without a hearing
Decision given on: 29 May 2025
Before
JUDGE HHJ David Dixon
Between
VIRDI VENTURES LIMITED
Appellant
and
THE PENSIONS REGULATOR
Respondent
Decision: The appeal is struck out.
REASONS
- On 19th August 2024 the Appellant lodged an appeal with the Tribunal. It was unclear if the Appellant had a right of appeal, so the Appellant was required to complete the "Pensions - Right to Appeal" document. No reply was received.
- Case Management Directions were issued on 16th January 2025, requiring the Appellant to provide a Right to Appeal form, with a warning that a failure to comply would lead to the appeal being struck out. Compliance was required by 30th January 2025.
- The Respondent did not comply with the Directions.
- By virtue of paragraph 8(3) of The Tribunal Procedure (First Tier Tribunal) (General Regulatory Chamber) Rules 2009, the Tribunal may strike out a party's case, in whole or in part, where:
- the appellant has failed to comply with a direction which stated that failure by the appellant to comply with the direction could lead to the striking out of the proceedings or part of them;
- the appellant has failed to co-operate with the Tribunal to such an extent that the Tribunal cannot deal with the proceedings fairly and justly; or
- the Tribunal considers there is no reasonable prospect of the appellant's case, or part of it, succeeding.
- Here the Appellant has failed to co-operate with the proceedings, and failed to comply with directions such that the Tribunal has no option but to strike out the appeal, as was warned.
- The Appeal is struck out herewith with immediate effect.
Signed: HH Judge David Dixon
