TD v First-tier Tribunal and CICA (CIC) (Criminal injuries compensation) [2019] UKUT 322 (AAC) (21 October 2019)
The First-tier Tribunal’s decision to strike out an appeal for non-compliance with directions was made in ignorance of the fact that there had been partial compliance. The Upper Tribunal did not remake the strike out decision or remit it to the First-tier Tribunal. The FTT should have considered an application for reinstatement which was likely to have been successful. In the light of that and the delay which had occurred, the fair way of proceeding was for the FTT to progress and determine the appeal.
