2.6.7 Exceptional circumstances warranting admissibility of appeal

Overview

c) Substantial procedural violation

In T 1020/13 the board held that, if a substantial procedural violation is alleged and adequately substantiated in the statement of grounds of appeal, it is irrelevant for the decision on admissibility of the appeal whether the challenge to the substantive reasons for the decision can likewise be regarded as adequately substantiated.
