Points Of Interest

Summary

At first instance (see BL O/251/07) the Hearing Officer had dismissed the opposition under both Section 5(2)(b) and Section 5(3). The opponents appealed to the Appointed Person, limiting their appeal to his decision in respect of Class 25, and contending that he had erred in not applying the case law and tests (correctly stated by him) to the facts in this case.

A detailed review of the Hearing Officer’s decision, however, led the Appointed Person to the conclusion that whilst he had made “some errors” she agreed with the outcome. The appeal was therefore dismissed.
