I. If the notice of appeal does not contain anything that can be regarded as a Statement of Grounds, the appeal is inadmissible unless a written Statement of Grounds is received by the EPO within the time limit set in Article 108, third sentence.
II. Re-establishment of rights may be justified under the conditions set out in Decision J 05/80 dated 7 July 1981 (OJ EPO 1981, p. 343) in the event of a wrongful act or omission on the part of an assistant. However, first of all a conclusive case must be made, setting out and substantiating the facts, for the probability that such a wrongful act or omission was instrumental in the failure to meet the time limit.
III. If an appeal is to be rejected as inadmissible solely because the Statement of Grounds was not filed in due time the fee for appeal is not refundable.
