CLR V A 3.1.2 Reformatio in peius and devolutive effect of appeal

Error message

Deprecated function: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in include_once() (line 1445 of /home/patently/domains/xepc.eu/public_html/includes/bootstrap.inc).

Deprecated function: Optional parameter $type declared before required parameter $nid is implicitly treated as a required parameter in include_once() (line 1445 of /home/patently/domains/xepc.eu/public_html/includes/bootstrap.inc).

In T 149/02 the board stated that the two general principles of procedure – prohibition of reformatio in peius and the devolutive effect of the appeal, which conferred on the board the power to consider its subject-matter – were complementary and had to be implemented in such a way that they did not exclude each other.
