Full judgment

2. On 15 April 2025 the Tribunal wrote to the Appellant to inform it that it was not clear from the documents provided that it had a right of appeal to the Tribunal. The Appellant was directed to complete a form explaining why it has a right of appeal within 28 days. The Appellant did not respond
3. By Directions dated 12 June 2025, the Appellant was directed to provide a completed copy of the form entitled “Pensions -Right to Appeal” to the Tribunal by 4 July 2025.
4. 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.
5. The Appellant failed to comply with the Direction dated 12 June 2025 and accordingly there are grounds to strike out the appeal.
