    For the purposes of paragraph   89(2)(a) of the Act (which deals with amendment or cancellation by a prescribed court), a prescribed court, in making a decision under subsection   89(1) of the Act on an application for rectification of the Register, must take into account the following matters, so far as they are relevant:

  (a)   the extent to which the public interest will be affected if registration of the trade mark is not cancelled;

  (b)   whether any circumstances that gave rise to the application have ceased to exist;

  (c)   the extent to which the trade mark distinguished the relevant goods and/or services before the circumstances giving rise to the application arose;

  (d)   whether there is any order or other remedy, other than an order for rectification, that would be adequate in the circumstances.
