No reimbursement of court fees following interlocutory rectification by EPO of contested decision after Court order that there was no reason for full or partial reimbursement of the fee for the action (R. 370 RoP, R. 91 RoP, R. 333 RoP, R. 220 RoP).
Even if it is foreseen by R. 370.11 RoP that an application may also be filed at a later stage, it remains in the present case that the Court of First Instance cannot review its previous order on the same subject-matter and decide in a different way, considering – should it be a case management order – that the decision was taken by a single judge (without possible panel review) and the Order can be appealed.
