Judicial Summary
The First-tier Tribunal erred in law by striking out the appellant’s case without a hearing. The appellant had expressly requested an oral hearing. The Tribunal gave no reasons for refusing that request, and nor could it otherwise be inferred that the Tribunal properly exercised its discretion as to whether to proceed without a hearing.
