Question juridique clé
Whether the revision request was admissible because a timely mailed extension request for the advance of costs had been overlooked.
Solution extraite
Yes. The court accepted that the extension request had probably been posted on time and could have been lost in transit, so a ground for revision under Art. 137 let. b OJ existed.
Motifs extraits
The respondents’ lawyer’s acknowledgment of receiving a copy dated 13 September 2006, combined with the later extension request of 6 October 2006, constituted sufficient indicia of timely mailing. The court held that the original request was likely sent on time and lost before receipt.
