"The EPO re-starts case no. AT 5-4188 (based on rejected internal appeal no. 100/13), referred to the Admin. Tribunal of the ILO in 2015, as an internal appeal, on its own initiative, see as attached." (document above)

The case of Anette Koch‏ was mentioned here before. It's not as 'famous' as cases against staff representatives (SUEPO), but it's equally if not even more appalling. Now, over a week after António Campinos started his job, the EPO sends the above letter, which the appellant has made public in Twitter (we follow her account closely enough to notice, as do other EPO insiders through whom we found it). She shared the above letter, then added: "Have you ever heard of a first-instance court re-starting a case under appeal on its own initiative, while it is treated by the Appeals Court? Well, this is how the EPO acts in procedures under its Service Regulations. [...] This way (see my last tweets) the EPO attempts to prevent treatment of my most urgent cases in substance by the Admin. Tribunal of the ILO. [...] In cases with the Admin. Tribunal of the ILO I will submit my comments to the Tribunal only." ⬆
