| schestowitz | > back later. Yet a few things struck me right away: | Feb 04 03:28 |
| schestowitz | > What do you mean by the title "The Admin. Tribunal of the ILO is moot, | Feb 04 03:28 |
| schestowitz | > EPO plays it like a fiddle", and why did you choose a title so bluntly | Feb 04 03:28 |
| schestowitz | > aggressive to the Tribunal in an article linked to my case? The Tribunal | Feb 04 03:28 |
| schestowitz | > can use this against me - and it potentially will, in its judgment of | Feb 04 03:28 |
| schestowitz | > 10-2-2020. | Feb 04 03:28 |
| schestowitz | > In any case I did not suggest such a title, nor I ever mention any of | Feb 04 03:28 |
| schestowitz | > these statements. In legal context the wording that the | Feb 04 03:28 |
| schestowitz | > "...Tribunal...is moot" is not known and unusual (unless you mean: a | Feb 04 03:28 |
| schestowitz | > "moot court" meaning a simulation of a court at law school, being | Feb 04 03:28 |
| schestowitz | > extremely offensive to the Tribunal). | Feb 04 03:28 |

| schestowitz | > 5-xxxxxxxxx and AT 5-xxxxx will be deemed moot - which, until now, is the | Feb 04 03:28 |
| schestowitz | > EPO's request only, at least according to what is public until now. | Feb 04 03:28 |
| schestowitz | > Maybe you have some insider's knowledge and already know how the | Feb 04 03:28 |
| schestowitz | > Tribunal has decided, and that it will deem my cases moot on 10-2-2020(?). | Feb 04 03:28 |

| schestowitz | > - looking forward to your reply to my questions. | Feb 04 03:33 |
| schestowitz | Judging by more recent letters, the ILO-AT does intend to take the word of the lying institution over that of it staff. It's a a longstanding problem (like meeting Campinos and never any staff representative). | Feb 04 03:33 |
| schestowitz | Over the course of their affairs -- other cases/people has well -- it has been important to highlight to ILO this perception problem (that it seems to favour what lawyers of the EPO say). It puts more pressure on ILO-AT to prove the critics wrong. | Feb 04 03:33 |
| schestowitz | The article is my personal interpretation and in no way connects me to the complainant, whose case I merely interpret based on public tweets that I found online. | Feb 04 03:33 |
