Key takeaways

File inspection requires representation by an authorised representative.

A member of the public who requests access to the Register pursuant to R.262.1(b) RoP is a "Party" pursuant to R.8.1 RoP and, thus, must be represented before the UPC by an authorised representative (pursuant to Art. 48 UPCA). This is meaningful, because such request must be reasoned and there is an adversarial phase where the judge-rapporteur consults the parties about the request.

In the absence of a representative, the Court of Appeal has allowed the member of the public a time period to remedy this deficit.
