Decision:
(1) The application of T&A, Solicitors, the representatives and solicitors for the late Appellant,
to be permitted to cease to act for the late Appellant, is granted.

completion on Tuesday, 26 August 2025, a date subsequently vacated. The decision dated 3
October 2024 was the only decision of the Respondent in a long list of appealable decisions

appeal by the Appellant, the Charity itself, nor any other Appellant who may have had
sufficient standing to bring an appeal.
