[19:28] schestowitz However, the big question is what is going to happen next. [19:28] schestowitz Normally the respective Circulars should be declared null and void and the office should redeem the money charged illegally from the staff. Mr. Battistelli is not in the EPO any more so he cannot be held to account but there are other enablers that could, and should be made responsible. The first matter is legal, the second one moral, so I expect at least the first one to be solved satisfactorily. Im very curious to see how this plays out [19:28] schestowitz Reply [19:28] schestowitz Eponia [19:28] schestowitz July 13, 2021 at 3:01 pm [19:28] schestowitz Guess why Karlsruhe just rejected a complaint in the UPC proceedings by a company who claimed they could not get a review in court. EPO is above the Law, cannot b brought to court, and the German judges are protecting them. [19:28] schestowitz Reply [19:28] schestowitz Charles [19:28] schestowitz July 13, 2021 at 4:55 pm [19:28] schestowitz Justice delayed is justice denied [19:28] schestowitz Reply [19:28] schestowitz Attentive Observer [19:28] schestowitz July 13, 2021 at 5:42 pm [19:28] schestowitz That Napoleon 4th abused his power in various ways should not come as surprise. [19:28] schestowitz His attacks on staff representatives have also been criticised in various cases before the ILO-AT and Union members had to be re-integrated or restored in their previous salary levels. [19:28] schestowitz You just have to remember the way Napoleon 4th blatantly disregarded the separation of powers in that he refused a member of the boards to access the building to realise that it was not only in the matter of strikes that his influence was harmful. [19:29] schestowitz R 19/12 and G 2301/16 led to R 12a-d and to the exile of the BA to the suburbs of Munich (lease 15 years), by which not even the perception of independence of the BA was increased. [19:29] schestowitz We ended up with a chair of the BA who is no more than a puppet on the strings of the president. Just looking at the saga of Art 15aRPBA and G 1/21 says enough. [19:29] schestowitz His successor seems even worse in a lot of aspects. He has not contributed to restore social peace at the EPO in the slightest. [19:29] schestowitz Ironically he has decided with the help of the chair of the BA that the latter BA will come back to Building VIII. But like examiners, members of the BA will not be allocated a specific room, not even a specific desk. Examiners will be pushed into open space offices in order to squeeze as much as possible the few staff members allowed to come into the office. [19:29] schestowitz With his New Normal he wants an EPO 2.0 without any legal basis in the EPC as it stands. But as this representatives in G 1/21 had the nerve to say that the EPC can be amended by way of secondary legislation as has been shown in G 3/19. [19:29] schestowitz The next planned budget provides 6 Millions of Euros to get legal advice against the staff! [19:29] schestowitz All this would not have been possible without the ACs complicity. The AC should control the president and the tail should not be wagging the dog. But in Eponia everything is possible if the president wants it. But as Mao is meant to have said once: the fish rots from the head! EPO is a superb example of this!
