Practice Directions

PRACTICE DIRECTION – 22.1

TRADE MARKS ORDINANCE (Cap.43)

　

1. At the first hearing of the originating motion for proceedings under the Trade Marks Ordinance, the court will normally give directions as to procedure. Where the parties agree to the directions that should be given the applicant should submit to the judge a document setting out the directions with a consent signed by counsel or solicitors representing all the parties.

2. On this being done the judge will give the necessary direction to the officer in charge of the lists for setting the matter down for hearing.

3. Where directions are not agreed the hearing of the application will be in chambers.
