‘An individual wishes to exercise their right to appeal against the decision of a tribunal. They must do so within a statutory time limit. In addition, they must also pay a fee. What happens, then, when the appeal is lodged within the statutory time limit, but no fee is paid? Was the claim still validly “brought”? This was the question for the Court of Appeal in Eskander v General Medical Council [2026] EWCA Civ 372 (31 March 2026).’
