Questão jurídica principal
Whether holders of old federal accounting titles have a right to conversion into new diplomas issued by the federal office.
Decisão extraída
No statutory or regulatory basis grants an entitlement to reissue new diplomas for persons who did not pass the new examinations.
Fundamentação extraída
The new titles under the 1999 regulations are tied to passing the relevant exam; art. 21(4) only allows old title holders to use the new title, not to obtain a new certificate. There is no provision comparable to the higher-education transition rules.
