Get Stuffed v The Pensions Regulator

1. The Appellant lodged a reference against the Pensions Regulator (the “Regulator”) using the GRC1 form on 11 December 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 17 December 2025 the Appellant was required to provide a copy of the Decision Notice that it wished to challenge to the Tribunal within 28 days. The Appellant did not comply with that Direction.

3. By Directions dated 20 January 2026 the Appellant was directed by 3 February 2026 to provide a copy of the Decision Notice that it wished to challenge to the Tribunal.

4. On 4 February 2026, the Appellant provided some documents in response, one of which appeared to be a screen print of correspondence with the Regulator suggesting that it has not conducted a review of the Fixed Penalty Notice, which indicated that the Tribunal may not have jurisdiction to deal with the reference.

5. On 12 February 2026, Registrar Bamawo directed the Appellant to provide by 27 February 2026 a copy of the Regulator’s decision notice in relation to review of the Fixed Penalty Notice or representations under rule 8(4) as to why the Tribunal should not strike the appeal out for want of jurisdiction.

6. The Appellant was directed to note that failure to comply with the Direction could lead to the Tribunal striking out the appeal for failure to comply without further direction.

7. The Appellant failed to comply with the Direction dated 12 February 2026 and accordingly there are grounds to strike out the appeal.
