Headnote
The principle of good faith does not impose any obligation on
the boards of appeal to notify an appellant that an appeal fee
is missing when the notice of appeal is filed so early that the
appellant could react and pay the fee in time, if there is no
indication - either in the notice of appeal or in any other
document filed in relation to the appeal - from which it could
be inferred that the appellant would, without such notification,
inadvertently miss the time limit for payment of the appeal fee.
