- Headnote
The requirement of Article 113(1) EPC that a decision may only be based on grounds or evidence on which the parties concerned (in this case, the applicant/appellant) have had an opportunity to present their comments is met where oral proceedings, requested by the party, are duly held in the party's absence and the objection (in this case, added subject-matter) is one which given the history of the appeal the board could reasonably have been expected to consider.
