| Catchwords: |
1. When deciding on the possible consequences of the Office's failure to meet its obligation to check a fee payment, the merely conjectural possibility of a real, but otherwise in itself not necessarily decisive setback (here the non-occurrence of an immediate success) for a party is more preferable than a certain decisive loss of all rights for another party, in particular when for a long time none of the parties expected the latter, see Reasons 1.13 2. Fee payment is not an issue of admissibility of the appeal, but rather a precondition for the very existence of the appeal, i.e. its deemed filing, see Reasons 1.15 |
