Summary of Facts and Submissions

The Appellant (Proprietor) filed a Notice of Appeal on 22. October 2003 and paid the fee for appeal on the same date.

II. By a communication dated 10 February 2004 sent by registered letter with advice of delivery, the Registry of the Board informed the Appellant that no Statement of Grounds had been filed and that the appeal could be expected to be rejected as inadmissible. The Appellant was invited to file observations within two months.
III. No answer to the Registry's communication has been received.
