Exclusion of Board member for suspected partiality (no)
Deviation from an earlier decision or opinion of the Enlarged Board under Article 21 RPBA
Stay of proceedings in view of a referral pending before the Enlarged Board (yes)
Orientierungssatz
Under the right circumstances, staying proceedings in view of an already pending referral is a legitimate alternative to the Board's own referral. As such, it is implicitly covered by Article 21 RPBA as a legally correct procedure where a Board intends to deviate from an interpretation of the Convention given in an earlier decision or opinion of the Enlarged Board of Appeal (Reasons 21.)
