Adjournment of the Preliminary Meeting
Notes: Preliminary Meeting will adjourn at end of part 1. It will be closed on Tues 20 June either by way of a virtual event (Preliminary Meeting 2) or a written decision, as deemed appropriate by ExA.
If Deadline C submissions don’t justify the resumption of the Preliminary Meeting 2 ExA may close in writing without Part 2 taking place. IPs should not rely on Part 2 to make oral reps about Examination procedure.
