Exergue
To determine whether a submission was admissibly raised pursuant to the conditional clause of Article 12(4), first sentence RPBA, the Board of Appeal assesses whether the department of first instance would have admitted the submission in reliance on the provisions and practice that applied in first-instance proceedings at the time, had a discretionary decision on admittance been required (see points 46 to 48).
