Headnote: I. Where fees are paid by delivering a cheque to a bank maintaining an account for the Office, the date of payment for the purposes of Article 8(1) of the Rules relating to Fees is not the date on which the cheque was delivered but that on which the payment was entered in the account held by the Office.
II. However, if the time limit for payment expires on a day declared to be a public holiday in Munich, where the Office is located, the time limit is extended under Rule 85(1) EPC irrespective of whether it would, in fact, have been possible to effect payment either in Munich or at any other place where it could validly have been made.
