The opponent had requested that certain exhibits in their evidence be treated as confidential and not open to inspection by the public or the applicant. There was no objection to their being disclosed to the applicant’s advisors.
A hearing was arranged to consider this request, following which the Hearing Officer ruled that the exhibits could remain confidential in accordance with the opponent’s wishes.
The applicant asked for a written statement of the Hearing Officer’s reasons. These are set out in this decision.
