- (i) A document filed shortly before, or during, the oral proceedings before the Board may not in principle be admitted into the proceedings, if its admission would lead to an adjournment of the proceedings;
(ii) However such late filed material may exceptionally be admitted if there are prima facie strong reasons that it would prejudice the maintenance of the European patent in whole or in part and if the patent proprietor agrees to its admission;
(iii) In such case the decision to admit such late filed material may in principle lead to an apportionment of costs to the detriment of the late filing party.

1. The decision under appeal is set aside.
2. The case is remitted to the first instance for further prosecution.
3. The travel and accommodation costs of the Appellant incurred due to the oral proceedings before the Board shall be borne by the Respondent (opponent).
