Argument summary
- ›The design holder sought restitutio after missing the renewal deadline for a multiple RCD registration, citing exceptional circumstances linked to its employee’s family health emergency and remote working.
- ›It argued that its representative had a reliable deadline-monitoring system and that the missed deadline resulted from an isolated, unforeseeable interruption despite due care.
- ›The Board held that neither the company nor the responsible employee had shown all due care, because no effective alternative system ensured receipt and control of critical correspondence during remote work.
- ›It also found that the pandemic-related financial arguments did not establish a causal obstacle, so restitutio had to be refused.
