Argument summary

  • The design holder sought restitutio in integrum after missing the renewal deadline for RCD Nos 3 330 828-0001 to 3 330 828-0013, arguing that its representative had an otherwise reliable deadline-monitoring system and that an exceptional family-health event prevented timely renewal instructions.
  • There was no opposing private party; this was an ex parte appeal against the Operations Department's refusal of restitutio in integrum.
  • The Board held that the holder and its representative had not shown all due care: the responsible employee already knew the renewal deadlines, continued working remotely, yet no adequate backup plan or effective internal mail-control system was in place during his absence.
  • The Board concluded that the due-care standard under Article 67 CDR was not met, so the appeal was dismissed and restitutio remained refused.
