Catchword
I. For the general character of an interruption in the delivery of mail under Rule 85(2) EPC it is significant that the public in general residing in an area of some magnitude, even if of limited geographical extent, is affected (J 0003/90, OJ EPO 1991, 550 followed).
II. The loss of a single mail bag may affect a number of individual addressees but not the public in general.
