4.3.2 Transitional provisions
In T 1533/15 the board underlined that the requirement that the statement of grounds of appeal and the reply thereto should contain the party's complete case was in Art. 12(2) RPBA 2007 and in Art. 12(3) RPBA 2020 and was expressed by substantially identical wording. The board noted with regard to the applicability of Art. 12(3) RPBA 2020 that, according to Art. 25(1) RPBA 2020, the RPBA 2020 applied to any appeal pending on the date of their entry into force, subject to certain exceptions dealt with in Art. 25(2) RPBA 2020 and Art. 25(3) RPBA 2020. Art. 12(3) RPBA 2020 was not among those exceptions. Hence, Art. 12(3) RPBA 2020 applied.
