In order to comply with the requirement under Article 122 EPC to take all due care required by the circumstances, a professional representative who runs a one person office must normally be expected to make appropriate arrangements so that, in the case of absence through illness, the observance of time limits can be ensured with the help of other persons (cf. point 4.4 of the Reasons).
