- The decision was taken in oral proceedings on 27.03.2024 and was issued in writing on 11.07.2024.
- The public file does not include a communication pursuant to Art.15(9) RPBA.
- Perhaps it is part of the non-public file, though the notification does not need to give any reasons for the delay, so it is hard to see why it should be non-public.
- We don't know if the President of the Boards of Appeal was informed of the delay as prescribed by Art. 15(9) RPBA.
- The decision itself does not mention the (slight) delay.
