Catchword
The requirements for clarity and conciseness of Article 12(3) RPBA preclude the presentation of arguments that are either confusing or unnecessarily protracted, to the extent that potentially relevant objections or requests risk being obscured within an overabundance of extraneous or repetitive content. Clarity and conciseness in submissions are essential to ensure that all parties can effectively engage with the core issues and that the proceedings remain efficient and equitable (see points 1.1-1.3 of the reasons).
