C. is also reinstated in decision 3958 (as his first suspension was not according to the rules). In 3960, therefore any consequent prolonging of the suspension is therefore also inffective.<br />Alas, in 3960 AT-ILO refuses to consider the legality of amending rules during the procedure, and applying the new rules retroactively. (consideration 9)<br /><br />The other three cases were dismissed (3985, 3959, and 3961 (premature, irreceivable)), as the EPO's request to consider the amount of appeals as vexatious, and the corresponding order to bear the office's costs.<br /><br />So, since the December AT-ILO decision was formally done by the EPO-AC, and then the contract not prolonged, now we have a different situation.<br />Will the PBoA finnaly stand up for his employee?Francescahttps://youtube.com/watch?v=UvBBC7-PSHonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-78246211205757620072018-01-24T16:45:32.615+00:002018-01-24T16:45:32.615+00:00Another ILO-AT ruling about "Mr P.C." ha...Another ILO-AT ruling about "Mr P.C." has just issued.

The “on any grounds whatever” sounds rather desperate and child-like in trying to enforce what I imagine may be unenforceable. It would appear that the administration is trying to extend immunity to encompass a self-defined exclusivity.<br />Paragraph 3 raises an issue beyond my knowledge as to what the term “likely to lead to a miscarriage of justice” means in terms of being a court’s opinion. Surely that can only be assessed after a court case or in full knowledge of all facts. During a case a party will not be able to present their best case unless the court considers a miscarriage of justice will otherwise occur? When is a different decision a miscarriage? <br />Paragraph 4 doesnot say any case before the ILO but limits it to one involving an employee or former employee. Why the condition? And when did the ILO-AT last take evidence anyway - they seem to religiously refuse to hear witnesses.Outsidernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-72428165274697747782018-01-04T10:30:27.442+00:002018-01-04T10:30:27.442+00:00@Insider
So let me see if I understand this corre...@Insider<br /><br />So let me see if I understand this correctly.<br /><br />The Service Regulations allow the President to cite vague (and ill-defined reasons) for denying his permission for a (former) to provide evidence before <b>a court of law</b>. (Presumably such decisions can be challenged ... but only before the ILO AT.)<br /><br />On the other hand the President is completely unable to deny permission in connection with the provision of evidence to the ILO AT.<br /><br />Is that correct?<br /><br />What could possibly be the basis for this difference? I would have thought that it would make more sense for the Regulations to instead rely upon the provisions of national laws for establishing an appropriate balance between the interests of confidentiality and those of justice.<br /><br />More importantly, what basis in the EPC is there for applying non-disclosure obligations to <b>all</b> “<i>information which has come to his knowledge in the course of or in connection with the performance of his duties and which has not already been made public</i>”? Article 12 of the EPC only indicates that there is a duty not to disclose “<i>information which by its nature is a professional secret</i>”.<br /><br />For members of the Boards of Appeal to comment upon the issue of their independence, the only “non-public” information that they would be imparting is the manner in which, in practice, the EPO implements the provisions of the EPC (and the Service Regulations, etc.) vis-à-vis the members of the Boards. Is it really credible for anyone to assert that this information would amount to a “<i>professional secret</i>” in the sense of Article 12 EPC? I think not!Proof of the puddingnoreply@blogger.com
