| Catchwords: |
Where the formal order of an appealed decision is obviously erroneous to such an extent that it is essentially incomprehensible when compared with the reasons in the body of the decision, in particular when it plainly does not correspond to any of the foreseen possible legal effects flowing from the substantive issue underlying the appealed decision, and if the competence pursuant to Article 21(3) EPC is supposed to change from one Board to another only because of such an "impossible" order, the formal order can be disregarded for the purposes of Article 21(3)(a) and (c) EPC, and rather the substantive request underlying the decision must be guiding in determining the Board competent to decide the case, see point 6 of the Reasons. (T 1382/08 not followed) |
