CLR III K 3.3.2.B Director's signature in place of examiner's signature

Error message

Deprecated function: Using ${var} in strings is deprecated, use {$var} instead in include_once() (line 1442 of includes/bootstrap.inc).

Deprecated function: Optional parameter $type declared before required parameter $nid is implicitly treated as a required parameter in include_once() (line 1442 of includes/bootstrap.inc).

In T 211/05 the board held that a director's signature purporting to be on behalf of the second examiner was invalid because nothing in the EPC 1973 authorised a director to sign on behalf of a member of an examining division to which he did not himself belong.
