Extract:

"Some of the complainant's [...] procedural and substantive objections [rely on] claims and pleas [presented by] other staff whose appeals also went to the Appeals Committee.

Consideration 6

Extract:

"The organisation asks the Tribunal to declare his complaint to be an obvious abuse of the right to appeal, though it does not make any formal counterclaim. The EPO is mistaken. All that the complainant did was exercise his right to appeal; [the rule under challenge was] so vague as to prompt many internal appeals, and, however they fared, they were quite understandable."

Keywords
