Points Of Interest

Summary

The Appointed Person reviewed the circumstances surrounding the appeal and concluded that the opponents had kept their options open for a considerable period in case they decided to pursue it. That decision may have been affected by another Registry decision on 22 August 2002 but the appeal had not been withdrawn until March 2003.

The applicants claimed costs of £483 and this amount was disputed by the opponents – particularly a claim for £216 for reviewing the Hearing Officer’s decision prior to the appeal being lodged. The Appointed Person considered that it was reasonable to include this charge, being part of the review procedure, and awarded the applicants the sum of £450.
