Enquiry
Request to schedule and speak at an Open Floor Hearing receieved from an non-interested party.
Advice given
Unfortunately only ?Interested Parties? (IPs), who have registered to participate in the examination, can formally request for an Open Floor Hearing (OFH) to be held and have the opportunity to give oral representations. The registration period to register to become an IP elapsed on 3 July 2015.
However, there is scope your representation (below) to be included in the examination. The Examining Authority (ExA) has discretion to accept submissions from non-IPs as ?additional submissions?. I will contact you soon to confirm whether the ExA wishes to accept your submission as an additional submission.
If an Open Floor hearing is scheduled, you are welcome to attend and if time permits, the ExA may ask if any non-IPs wish to give oral representations. I recommend regularly checking the project page on our website: attachment 1 for notification of any hearings.
I also recommend viewing the following advice note: Advice note 8.5: Participating in the examination.
