Summary
A request for an order of security for costs in Opposition 50304, by the opponents, was refused by the Registrar. The opponents had not attended the hearing convened to hear their request and the applicants (who had been represented at the hearing) accordingly asked for a wasted costs order; which was refused. The Hearing Officer did, however, award costs in respect of a further hearing. BL O/425/00 provides reasons for all these decisions.
