Our analysis

Summary

In an order of 22 October 2026, the President of the Court of Appeal rejects the petition for review of the Registrar’s decision of 25 June 2026 refusing to re-enter an applicant, whose name is not published, on the list of UPC representatives. The applicant argued that he had been registered since 2023 and relied on the many opt-outs he had filed as a representative. The President holds that re-entry requires convincing evidence of an earlier application filed in the CMS, which is mandatory for all such applications (Rule 4.1 RoP); the document signed in 2023 acknowledged the creation of a CMS account, and opt-out filings, not checked by the Registry until July 2025, prove nothing. The request for re-establishment of rights is also rejected: even if Rule 320 RoP applied, the six-month time limit expired on 3 December 2024.
