Yes - as posted above if you fail at the CAA they will advise you to do this. The reason is because there is no set protocol for all of the JAA countries to follow.
Taking an objective view about this, the CAA is being quite helpful here and calling them To**ers is not going to help anyone.
If you can prove that you passed all of the requirements for a Class 1 Medical in another fully fledged, note, JAA country then the CAA will grant you a Class 1 to train in the UK.
