#### 89 Rectification may not be granted in certain cases if registered owner not at fault etc.
(1) The court may decide not to grant an application for rectification made:
(a) under section 87; or
(b) on the ground that the trade mark is liable to deceive or confuse (a ground on which its registration could have been opposed, see paragraph 88(2)(a)); or
(c) on the ground referred to in paragraph 88(2)(c);
if the registered owner of the trade mark satisfies the court that the ground relied on by the applicant has not arisen through any act or fault of the registered owner.
> Note: For registered owner see section 6.
(2) In making a decision under subsection (1), the court:
(a) must also take into account any matter that is prescribed; and
(b) may take into account any other matter that the court considers relevant.
