Cadbury UK Ltd v The Comptroller General of Patents Designs and Trade Marks: ChD 7 Jul 2016

The intervener sought an order in its favour after its petition had been successful.
Held: The application failed. Such an application had to meet three conditions: 1) Success of the petition; 2) The intervention had made a real contribution, and 3) its contribution did not repeat the submissions of the principals. In this case the intervener met the first and third conditions but not the second.
