| Catchwords: |
In decisions G 1/99, T 1843/09 and T 1979/11 the existence of a causal link between the limiting feature to be deleted and the new situation arising on appeal was a necessary precondition for justifying an exception to the principle of prohibition of reformatio in peius for reasons of equity. As this precondition is not fulfilled in the present case, a departure from the principle of prohibition of reformatio in peius based on analogies with the cases underlying those decisions is not justified. |
