Board of Appeal
Amendments to the practice directions to parties to appeal proceedings The Board of Appeal has decided to remove the requirement to submit paper copies of documents in most cases. This will lighten some of the administrative burden and costs placed on the parties involved, as well as reduce the environmental footprint of appeal proceedings.
The decision amending the practice directions and a consolidated version incorporating the amendments is available on ECHA's website. |
