Duty to be represented (Article 48 UPCA, R. 8 RoP). Late filed objection. Meril GmbH did not make this objection before the Central Division or in its Statement of appeal and grounds of appeal. The Court of Appeal disregards this submission. (R. 226 RoP and R. 222.2 RoP). Representation is a point of admissibility involving public policy considerations (due process) which the Court may examine at any time, also of its own motion. 

IPPT20241009, UPC CoA, SharkNinja v Dyson
Level of detail required to meet the standard of R 226 Rop for the Statement of grounds of appeal must be assessed on a case-by-case basis depending on, among other things, how detailed the impugned order is in the contested parts. General statement that all submissions from the pleadings submitted at first instance are maintained in  full is not enough as such. [...] From this, in conjunction with SharkNinja’s initial statement that all submissions from the pleadings submitted at first instance are maintained in full, it is clear that SharkNinja also want to include in the appeal their arguments from the Rejoinder to the Reply that they were not able to present at the hearing before the Local Division.
