Let ? be a finite thick dual polar space of rank 3. We say that a hyperplane H of ? is locally singular (respectively, quadrangular or ovoidal) if H?Q is the perp of a point (resp. a subquadrangle or an ovoid) of Q for every quad Q of ?. If H is locally singular, quadrangular, or ovoidal, then we say that H is uniform. It is known that if H is locally singular, then either H is the set of points at non-maximal distance from a given point of ? or ? is the dual of Q(6, q) and H arises from the…

In view of the absence of known examples of ovoids and semi-singular hyperplanes in finite thick dual polar spaces of rank 3, the condition on the nonexistence of these hex intersections can be regarded as not very restrictive.

If $q$ is even, then it is proved that every non-classical ovoid of DW(5,q) is either a semi-singular hyperplane or the extension of a non- classical o void of a quad of $DW(5-q)$.
