You will see that it discusses all the factors that a judge must take into account, and a key one of these is 'justice' for all concerned. None of the above comments places importance on this when looking at the issue of what the description needs to say. It is importa | Apr 18 01:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | nt to see that justice might need to be achieved at the expense of certainty.<br />____<br />46. Only one thing is therefore certain. It is that, while as much of it as possible <br />is desirable, certainty is not the ultimate or wholly achievable aim of the law. <br />The answer to my question must be as indefinite as Lord Brown’s was last <br />year. The judicial role often involves the identification, evaluation and <br />app | Apr 18 01:20 |

These principles are not or not necessarily <br />the utilitarian principles that Bentham advocated. His thinking remarkably <br />ignores the propensity of majorities to overlook the interests of minorities. <br />Judges have a special role to protect unpopular interests and the interests of <br />the unpopular. The identifica | Apr 18 01:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | tion, evaluation and weighing of principles <br />which quite often pull in different directions is of the essence of judging, not <br />only when shaping the common law but also when interpreting statute law. <br />47.That necessarily introduces an element of uncertainty into the law. One <br />person’s certainty is another’s doubt, one person’s preference is rejected by <br />another. We no longer possess the same confidenc | Apr 18 01:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | e or faith that led to the <br />natural law thinking of the 17th and earlier centuries. But we live in a liberal <br />democracy, and, unless we have, and judges seek to identity and reflect, <br />some fundamental societal values, the law would be neutered rather than <br />neutral, and it would be unclear what if any stance it should take on any <br />number of issues. That would be an abrogation of role. Oliver Wendell <br />Ho | Apr 18 01:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | lmes said, much more pithily than I, in The Path of the Law, that <br />“certainty generally is illusion, and repose is not the destiny of man.” <br />48.It cannot of course be for each judge to identify and apply his or her entirely <br />independent value system.

The collegial aspect of <br />legal practice can also instil common standards – so long as it is not at the <br />expense of diversity of all kinds at every professional level – though that is <br />another theme.

| schestowitz[TR2] | Following T 1158/20, T 758/20 is not the only decision of the same board forcing OP by ViCo. T 2762/19 has to be added to this list. See my posts in another blog. <br /><br />What is interesting is the fact that the present board, as well that in T 1624/20, have added a further criterion when deciding to hold forced OP by ViCo. <br /><br />The boards insisting to hold OP by ViCo seem to have added a new criterion to be justified b | Apr 18 01:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | y the party requiring OP in person rather than by ViCo: the requesting party has to show why an OP by ViCo would not be “appropriate” in the actual case. Whilst the term “appropriate” is to be found in four places in G 1/21, cf. reasons 19, 37, 39 and 43, it is nowhere to be found in reasons 48 and 49 of G 1/21 which are at the core of G 1/21.<br /><br />It cannot be that for reasons, manifestly of convenience, that the boa | Apr 18 01:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | rds can decide when a case is “appropriate” for an OP by ViCo. It is also not for a board to decide that OP by ViCo are equivalent to OP in person, as long as the EBA has not decided so.<br /><br />In G 1/21, the EBA established a double condition for OP to be held by ViCo. The parties should be impaired in coming to the premises of the EPO and only then the case should be suitable for holding the OP by ViCo. It is difficult to | Apr 18 01:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | claim that parties are presently impaired to come to the premises of the EPO<br /><br />As far as G 1/21 is concerned, it is worth reminding Art 21 RPBA20:<br />Should a Board consider it necessary to deviate from an interpretation or explanation of the Convention contained in an earlier decision or opinion of the Enlarged Board of Appeal according to Article 112, paragraph 1, EPC, the question shall be referred to the Enlarged Bo | Apr 18 01:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | ard of Appeal.<br /><br />The Boards have thus no competence to set aside G 1/21, be it with a “dynamic interpretation” à la G 3/19, as in G1/21the EBA made abundantly clear that the gold standard for OP is OP in person. <br /><br />If all parties wish OP by ViCo, then there is no reason not to hold OP by ViCo.<br /><br />I all parties wish OP in person it is not for a board to decide that the OP is to be held by ViCo and the | Apr 18 01:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | parties to be required to explain why the case is not appropriate for OP by ViCo. <br /><br />If not all parties agree on OP by ViCo, then a mixed mode OP is to be offered to the parties. <br /><br />I am fully aware that Art 15a(1), as noted by the opponent in the present case, gives the boards a infinite discretion in matters of OP.<br /><br />The minimum would be for Art 15a(1) to be aligned on G 1/21. Knowing what happened arou | Apr 18 01:20 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | nd G 1/21, it is no more than a wish, as holding OP by ViCo correspond to the general policy of the EPO. <br /><br />After all, it is not for the EPO and its BA to decide what is good for the parties. <br /> | Apr 18 01:20 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | >I've always been a bit of a fan of ViCo for exam hearings, but as my experience of ViCo opposition hearings grows, I have been surprised by how few of my opposite number follow the guidance set out to improve the experience for all: one face per camera, use a headset and dedicated mic, etc. With these in place I do believe the hearings can be fair, which is surely the point. Whether better or not depends on a number of factors. | Apr 18 01:20 |
