As Predicted

In November I started out on our first Peer Review “appeal” (actually its not an appeal in any from you would recognise and is rather the presentation of written representations).
Between now and then we have achieved something of a technical victory regarding the process and the findings are essentially “void”.
Now, mid May 2006, we have verbally been informed that our representations have been unsuccessful, we await the detailed decision.
When we won the technical decision I predicted to the client that we would not be successful with the substantive arguments. So it seems. I have to say that this leaves me depressed as to future prospects of success in the reps. process and that the key is to get the right categorisation in the first place.
