Argument summary
- ›The applicant sought invalidity of the contested RCD under Article 25(1)(b) CDR in conjunction with Article 4(1) CDR.

- ›The Division held that it could revisit admissibility and that the application no longer complied with Article 77 CDR and Article 28(1) CDIR.
- ›The application was rejected and the applicant was ordered to bear the holder's representation costs fixed at EUR 400.
