Summary
At first instance (see BL O/333/07) the Hearing Officer had found for the opponents in respect of both the Class 3 goods and the Class 8 goods. The applicant appealed against the finding in respect of Class 8, in view of the great differences between toiletries in Class 3 and machinery in Class 8.
Having reviewed the matter, however, the Appointed Person concluded that the Hearing Officer had made no error of principle and had been entitled to each the conclusion that he did in respect of the Class 8 goods.
The appeal was dismissed.
The Appointed Person had also refused to admit further evidence submitted by the appellant.
