UKUUG appeals the initial court decision on BSI's OOXML action
The UK's Unix & Open Systems User Group (UKUUG) has
announced that it will appeal
a legal decision on OOXML.
"The High Court has rejected the UKUUG's application for a Judicial Review of BSI's actions in voting 'yes' to the fast-tracking of the Microsoft sponsored
DIS29500 (OOXML) in April 2008. UKUUG is appealing that decision since it
believes that the judge was wrong in his reading of the papers. The matter will now be heard in open court.
UKUUG believe that problems in OOXML might be resolved but only after a
thorough and open examination of over 1,000 technical and several legal issues
by experts in this field from all interested stakeholders. Only some 20% of
issues initially found were adequately discussed at the BRM, OOXML is thus
riddled with technical holes; no one can implement it."
