In that event, the registrar or, if there was an appeal, the tribunal, would regard the fact that the hunt had met tests previously as a salient piece of information when considering the fresh application. Similarly, if an application were made for a different piece of territory that was only a small addition, or something like that, the tribunal would have a balanced approach. However, there has to be a new application. That is no big thing; it is simply the sensible way of dealing with the matter and making it clear which application and registration is being dealt with.
