Simple
Yes. Where a parent who has not taken part in proceedings before the FTT seeks permission to appeal, the FTT has discretion to add that parent as a party pursuant to FTT (HESC) Rules 2008 r9, and then consider a permission application. The UT declined to give guidance as to how that discretion should be used: JW v Kent CC [2017] UKUT 281 (AAC)#14.
