Case Reference: FT/PEN/2025/0224
First-tier Tribunal
(General Regulatory Chamber)
Pensions
Decided without a hearing
Decision given on: 7 January 2026
Before
JUDGE HARRIS
Between
THE FLEECE SPORTS BAR LIMITED
Appellant
and
THE PENSIONS REGULATOR
Respondent
Decision: The appeal is struck out under rule 8(3)(a) for non-compliance with a Tribunal direction.
REASONS
The Appellant lodged a reference using the GRC1 form on 3 October 2025. The reference was incomplete as the Appellant did not include a copy of the decision notice they sought to challenge and it was not clear from the documents provided that the Appellant has a right of appeal to the Tribunal.
By Directions and email dated 6 October 2025 the Appellant was required to provide a completed copy of the Pensions – Right to Appeal form within 28 days. The Appellant did not comply with that Direction.
By Directions dated 1 December 2025, the Appellant was directed by 17 December 2025 to provide a copy of the Decision Notice that it wished to challenge and a completed copy of the Pensions – Right to Appeal form to the Tribunal.
The Appellant was directed to note that failure to comply with this direction could lead to the Tribunal striking out the appeal for failure to comply without further direction.
The Appellant failed to comply with the Direction dated 1 December 2025 and accordingly there are grounds to strike out the reference.
