Overview

2.5 Decision on the file as it stands 

A revised version of this publication entered into force.

Applicants may request a decision "on the file as it stands" or "according to the state of the file", e.g. when all arguments have been sufficiently put forward in the proceedings and the applicant is interested in a speedy appealable decision. C‑V, 15 and subsections, describes the procedure to be followed in case of such a request.
