DN Autos v The Environment Agency

1. The Appellant lodged an appeal using the GRC1 form on 7 January 2025. The appeal was incomplete as the Appellant did not include a copy of the decision notice they sought to challenge, which was referred to in the form as SORTATION REF 601 dated 6 December 2024. 2. By Directions dated 14 April 2025 the Appellant was required to provide a copy of the decision to the Tribunal by 28 April 2025. The Appellant provided several documents in response to these directions, including a warning letter and invoice from the Environment Agency, but still did not provide a copy of the Decision Notice that it wished to challenge. 3. By Directions dated 20 June 2025, the Appellant was directed by 7 July 2025 to obtain and provide a Decision Notice from the Environment Agency dated 6 December 2024 or provide further clarification of the exact documents the Environment Agency issues when imposing a financial penalty. 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 20 June 2025 and accordingly there are grounds to strike out the appeal.
