  Following a suggestion given in Phys. Lett. B 571(2003) 621, we show how a
bilayer Quantum Hall system at fillings nu =1/p+1 can exhibit a point-like
topological defect in its edge state structure. Indeed our CFT theory for such
a system, the Twisted Model (TM), gives rise in a natural way to such a feature
in the twisted sector. Our results are in agreement with recent experimental
findings (Phys. Rev. B 72 (2005) 041305) which evidence the presence of a
topological defect in the transport properties of the bilayer system.
