Points Of Interest

Summary

At first instance (see BL O/089/08) the Hearing Officer had found the opponent unsuccessful in his opposition. He appealed to the Appointed Person. The opposition had failed because the opponent had not established the claim to a goodwill. The opponent/appellant did not identify any errors of principle in the Hearing Officer’s decision but sought instead to adduce further evidence in support of his claim to a goodwill. The Appointed Person refused the request to introduce further evidence and as she could herself find no flaw in the Hearing Officer’s approach she dismissed the appeal.
