| schestowitz | I can't see the main EQE being rescheduled this year. However, I think it may be possible to reschedule the pre-exam (e.g. in early September). This takes much less time to mark, so you could run it and still have time to get the marks out and give the people who passed register/revise for the 2021 EQEs. Not ideal, but at least a smaller cohort would be affected. | Mar 07 15:08 |

| schestowitz | Makes more sense to just give all those registered for the pre-exam a pass - the benefit of the pre-exam is in the preparation (which has now been done by effectively all the candidates), not in the sitting of a particular paper. There's no point in going to the massive trouble and expense of rescheduling for (only) one paper which 80-90% of sitters should pass, not if the main papers aren't rescheduled too. | Mar 07 15:08 |
| schestowitz | UnknownFriday, 6 March 2020 at 23:16:00 GMT | Mar 07 15:08 |
| schestowitz | Agreed. remember there are plenty of people who are on ghe register who never sat a pre exam. Or if they don't want to go as far as cancelling it why not let people sit the paper locally under the supervision of a qualified attorney? | Mar 07 15:08 |

| schestowitz | Can CIPA make a decision about the PEB exams in October (around July time) to avoid candidates wasting precious time preparing for the exams only for it NOT to go ahead. Of course - if the outbreak gets worse, who knows when it will end. | Mar 07 15:08 |

| schestowitz | This would be the most ideal situation. IT will certainly prevent a lot of candidates going through the pain as we have just witness those poor EQE students have gone through. | Mar 07 15:08 |
| schestowitz | If the situation doesn't improve in June, I think CIPA should call it off. Students/firms would understand especially if they know in advance and not waste time for preparation. | Mar 07 15:08 |

| schestowitz | We need a definite answer, is it on or off? Look at INTA. People need time to get refunds and whatnot. | Mar 07 15:08 |
| schestowitz | I am in two minds about it proceeding though. Just reading up on the WHO guidelines which state that there should be a 1m separation from people who show symptoms but there are reports of people may not show symptoms even if they are infected or in the far east, people who have symptoms that are so mild that they are not showing it outright. Us youngsters will probably recover easy but it's the spreading to the older folks which is the | Mar 07 15:08 |
| schestowitz | worrying part. And not to mention the possible after-effects of the disease. Reports that SARS gave honeycomb lungs etc etc. | Mar 07 15:08 |
| schestowitz | Having said that, if UK is not having that many cases, don't see why CIPA can't push ahead. | Mar 07 15:08 |

| schestowitz | It's off. CIPA will not make them change their minds. It has been handled poorly but it is done now. | Mar 07 15:08 |
| schestowitz | There's a post in this thread drawing an analogy to an exam centre burning down. It's an interesting comparison, but the difference here is that one exam centre has burned down (Italy) and fires have already started in the others. | Mar 07 15:08 |
| schestowitz | Clearly there was no contingency plan in place, other than the back-up paper. | Mar 07 15:08 |

| schestowitz | If EQE exams are rescheduled to after September time - I think CIPA would need to cancel the PEB exams in October. It is a nightmare for everyone involved but some attorneys are examiners for both EQE and PEB and not to mention candidates don't have time to prepare for both exams. Some firms will push their candidates to take both no matter what which is not sensible. | Mar 07 15:08 |

| schestowitz | I would have to agree although its a disappointment. Given the circumstances and if true, I think CIPA will have to cancel the PEB exams this year. Its unfair but EQE candidates must be the top priority now. | Mar 07 15:09 |
| schestowitz | AnonymousFriday, 6 March 2020 at 19:31:00 GMT | Mar 07 15:09 |
| schestowitz | Assuming the EQE is moved to September/October, it is probably the sensible thing to cancel PEB exams. PEB being cancelled is a pain because this is not CIPA's fault. But if you create too many exams in the same period - firms will struggle to cope in this period. | Mar 07 15:09 |
| schestowitz | You also have the problem of providing enough invigilators for both set of exams. EQE needs to trump national exams this year is my view. | Mar 07 15:09 |

| schestowitz | This year’s European Qualifying Examinations have been cancelled by the Supervisory Board of the EQE. We expect no change to that. | Mar 07 15:09 |
| schestowitz | Over the past 24 hours we have made representations to the Supervisory Board on behalf of our members, without success. | Mar 07 15:09 |
| schestowitz | We will now focus on achieving clarity and certainty on plans for rescheduling the EQE and will communicate developments to our members as they emerge. | Mar 07 15:09 |

| schestowitz | The EPO's guidance to my mind is unclear on this. "External partners" who have visited affected areas cannot visit, but I've no idea if I (an attorney) am an external partner or not. | Mar 07 15:09 |
| schestowitz | I've heard rumors that the EPO is being more lenient about moving the dates of hearings on these grounds, but only rumors. | Mar 07 15:09 |

| schestowitz | Obivously a massive disappointment for those of us who've been studying for months in preparation. | Mar 07 15:09 |
| schestowitz | However, I urge everyone to remember the huge amount of effort and work our colleagues put into making these exams happen every year. I imagine they're having as stressful a time as we are right now. | Mar 07 15:09 |

| schestowitz | If a new sitting is organised this year, I do hope that the EPO will provide candidates the option of choosing between writing the paper(s) this year and next year, and/or to refund or credit the registration fees, despite what the OJ notice states. But a superseding OJ notice would be necessary laying out all the details (deadlines, procedure, etc.). | Mar 07 15:09 |
| schestowitz | But since the COVID-19 panic is still ongoing, and its ultimate scope still uncertain. It is unlikely that the exam could be rescheduled before the usual registration deadline sometimes in September. | Mar 07 15:09 |
| schestowitz | Moreover, IIRC, grading the papers takes about five months, and a delayed 2020 sitting would collide with the organisation of the 2021 paper. | Mar 07 15:09 |
| schestowitz | A candidate sitting the 2020 paper rescheduled say in October would have to wait until 2022 to resit it, if s/he didn't apply for the 2021 edition in time. | Mar 07 15:09 |
| schestowitz | In view of the mess, I wager is therefore that there will not be a 2020 sitting at all. I would be (pleasantly) surprised if the EPO were to act fairly or generously with the 2020 candidates in registering for the 2021 paper. | Mar 07 15:09 |

| schestowitz | It strikes me as daft that for the pre exam at least, arrangements can't be made for candidates to sit the paper on their own premises under the supervision of a Professional Representative willing and able to certify that exam condition had been adhered to. | Mar 07 15:09 |

| schestowitz | I think it is going to be highly unlikely that the EPO will be able to postpone the exam. It's a logistical nightmare. | Mar 07 15:09 |
| schestowitz | However, wouldn't an alternative solution be to hold a partial EQE, i.e., only hold some of the exams. For example, I know that preparing for part D takes a substantially higher amount of effort than the other papers. Thus, would it not make sense to at least hold paper D in 2020? | Mar 07 15:10 |
| schestowitz | I can see several advantages over straight-out canceling the EQE in 2020, even for the EPO. Some example advantages include: | Mar 07 15:10 |
| schestowitz | organizing a single exam should be straightforward, even if it were held in all examination centers across Europe (e.g., finding a venue for a single day is far easier than finding a venue that would be free 4 days in a row); | Mar 07 15:10 |
| schestowitz | the back-log of candidates that would result in a very large attendance of candidates in 2021 or 2022 (depending on whether the pre-EQE is waived for 2020 candidates) could be mitigated; | Mar 07 15:10 |
| schestowitz | if the coronavirus is still an issue in the summer, this would substantially decrease any risk of spreading the infection (less candidates and the exam would only be held on 1 day instead of 4 separate days); | Mar 07 15:10 |
| schestowitz | 2020 candidates who were preparing for all 4 exams will not be as disadvantaged because their preparation for part D would not go to waste and they would only have to prepare for parts A-C; | Mar 07 15:10 |
| schestowitz | the paper could be held later in the year because it would take substantially less time to mark 1 paper instead of 4 thereby avoiding the scenario where candidates would take the exam in autumn in 2020 and not know their results until after the EQE in 2021. | Mar 07 15:10 |
