Appeal to an independent tribunal if you disagree with a decision about your trainee driving instructor licence or registration as an approved driving instructor (ADI).

What you can appeal against

You can appeal to the tribunal if the ADI Registrar:

• removes your trainee licence

• refuses you compensation if you were suspended as an ADI

Your case will be dealt with by a tribunal in the General Regulatory Chamber.

The tribunal is independent of the government. It will listen to both sides of the argument before reaching a decision.
