Argument summary
- ›The holder appealed the Register's finding that its request for restitutio in integrum after non-renewal of the RCD was deemed not to have been filed out of time, arguing that the true cause of non-compliance was only discovered when the holder queried a lapse email on 29 May 2020.
- ›There was no opposing private party; the dispute concerned whether the request was timely and whether the representative's internal renewal and address-control system satisfied the 'all due care' standard.
- ›The Board agreed that the request had been filed within two months of removal of the true obstacle and therefore annulled the procedural 'deemed not filed' decision, but it found the representative's system lacked an adequate control mechanism because the client address update was not properly implemented and no effective verification step caught the resulting lapse.
- ›The restitutio request was rejected on the merits; the lapsed RCD was not restored.
