Summary
Both sides had applied for permission to cross-examine witnesses and, at a very late stage, the opponent applied for permission to amend the grounds of opposition, seeking to introduce two new grounds of attack, under Sections 3(1)(b) and 3(1)(c).
A hearing was arranged, following which cross-examination of the witnesses was agreed, but the application for amendment of the grounds of opposition was refused.
The opponent asked for written reasons for the refusal; this decision set out the Hearing Officer's reasons.
