5.7. Reimbursement of costs

According to Art. 12a(10) RPEBA the Enlarged Board may on request propose the reimbursement of some or all costs incurred in the proceedings by the respondent if the request to make a proposal for their removal from office has been rejected (see G 2301/15). In G 2302/15 the proceedings were terminated following the Administrative Council’s withdrawal of its request during oral proceedings. The Enlarged Board proposed the reimbursement of all costs incurred by the respondent, as the costs for preparing his defence had turned out to be unnecessary as a result of the withdrawal.
