Following on from that

Hi,

Following on from that one could assume that that was true from the beginning.

Following on from that- Could it be used? Is it formal?

Following on from that one could assume that that was true from the beginning. I'd say the expression is register neutral (neither exclusively casual nor formal). Of course we assume that prior context tells us what "that" is.
