Rule 7 Failure to complyI1
United Kingdom
In addition to any direction that the Tribunal thinks it is reasonable to make, the Tribunal may take one of the steps in paragraph (2) in respect of a party, where that party has, without reasonable excuse, failed to comply—
with a direction given under these Rules; or
with a provision of these Rules.
The steps referred to in paragraph (1) are—
where the party is the appellant, dismiss the whole or part of the appeal (or, if there is more than one appellant, that appellant’s appeal); and
where the party is the Regulator, strike out the whole or part of the statement of case and, where appropriate, direct that the Regulator is to be barred from contesting the appeal.
The Tribunal must not take any of the steps under this rule in respect of a party unless it has given that party an opportunity to make representations against the taking of any such steps.
