Argument summary

  • The RCD holder sought restitutio in integrum after missing renewal deadlines for RCD Nos 2 447 771-0001 to -0007, blaming errors during transitions of renewal monitoring between Baldwins and CPA Global.
  • It argued Baldwins had an industry-standard deadline system with manual and automated checks, and that two exceptional system errors caused the missed 2019 renewal deadline despite all due care.
  • The Board held that transfer and monitoring failures were foreseeable, that the evidence did not prove a reliable double-checking system, and that neither Baldwins, CPA Global, nor the holder showed all due care.
  • The appeal was dismissed and restitutio in integrum remained refused.
