Finland: Comments at the Office
A recent Supreme Administrative Court
In its decision 19.12.2008/3384 the Court held that the principles of fair trial require that the assessment of whether other party’s statement influences the outcome of a case is primarily something to be done by the interested party in the case. Accordingly, and also taking into account the fact that the interested party in the subject case had specifically requested the opportunity to comment on the other party's statements, the Board of Appeal should not have annulled NBPR’s decision without giving the interested party such an opportunity.
This decision has relevance e.g. to trade mark opposition proceedings where the NBPR now has to allow the opponent to comment on the applicant’s statements in reply to the opposition.
