Summary

The applicant did not respond to an examination report issued under section 18(3) within the specified period. The hearing officer considered whether to allow a late-filed response to the examination report. She found that the failure to file a response to the examination report within the period specified by the examiner was not unintentional. The hearing officer could not identify any other factors which would justify exercising discretion to allow a late response. The application was refused under section 18(3).
