Judicial Summary
First-tier Tribunal (FTT) struck out appeal on basis that it had no jurisdiction under rule 8(2) of the FTT (General Regulatory Chamber) Rules – neither respondent seeking strike out of the whole appeal on this basis – discusses what FTT’s ‘jurisdiction’ means in this context – appeal allowed as FTT had not read properly and fully the Notice of Appeal and therefore decided its lack of jurisdiction on an incomplete and wrong basis – properly construed, the FTT had jurisdiction to determine the appeal- strike out applications remitted to a new FTT to decide if instead the appeal should be struck out on the basis that it has no reasonable prospect of success.
