Checked against the judgment on 4 September 2026 · how we verify
Facts
The appellant, Arjun Singh, appealed to the First-tier Tribunal (General Regulatory Chamber) against the Registrar of Approved Driving Instructors in connection with his application for a third trainee licence. Under Regulation 14(b) of the Motor Cars (Driving Instruction) Regulations 2025, a trainee licence remains in force only until the day immediately following the trainee's third unsuccessful attempt at the instructional ability test. By a form GRC5 dated 28 July 2026, the Registrar informed the Tribunal that the appellant had failed his third attempt at the instructional ability test on 27 July 2026, and applied for the appeal to be struck out on the footing that the appellant was no longer eligible to hold a trainee licence. The Tribunal directed the appellant on 13 August 2026 to provide any submissions as to why the appeal should not be struck out, by 28 August 2026. The appellant did not respond. The matter was decided without a hearing, the decision being given on 4 September 2026.
