JUDGE TAFT
Between
CHRISTOPHER BRIAN JONES
Appellant
and
REGISTRAR OF APPROVED DRIVING INSTRUCTORS
Respondent
Decision: The appeal is Dismissed
REASONS
Introduction
1. Mr Jones is an Approved Driving Instructor (“ADI”) whose name appears on the
Register of Approved Driving Instructors (“the Register”) maintained by the
Respondent Registrar. On 26 March 2025, the Registrar notified Mr Jones that he had
decided to remove his name from the Register on the basis that he had failed to pass
the test of continued ability and fitness to give instruction (colloquially known as a
standards check or check test) on three occasions. Mr Jones now appeals that
decision.
2. The parties have agreed to a paper determination of the appeal. The Tribunal is
satisfied that it can properly determine the issues without a hearing within rule
32(1)(b) of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (General Regulatory
Chamber) Rules 2009 (as amended).
