Summary of Facts and Submissions

I. This appeal contests the Decision of the Head of the Formalities Section of Directorate General 2 dated 10 March 1986 refusing a request for restitutio in integrum. The decision was dispatched by registered letter with advice of delivery to the appellant on the day it was given. The appellant filed the appeal by letter dated 16 May 1986 and paid the fee for appeal on 20 May 1986. No Statement of Grounds was filed. The notice of appeal contains nothing that could be regarded as a Statement of Grounds.

II. By a Communication dated 1 September 1986, receipt of which was not acknowledged and a copy of which was posted on 25 November 1986 and received by the appellant on 27 November 1986 the Registrar of the Board informed the Appellant that no Statement of Grounds had been filed and that the appeal presumably would be rejected as inadmissible. The appellant was invited to file observations within 2 months.

III. The appellant filed no observations nor has he filed a request for restitutio in integrum in respect of his failure to file a Statement of Grounds.

The appeal is rejected as inadmissible.
