35Firstly, as regards the use in the contested decision of the terms covered by the case-law of the Court of Justice concerning the establishment of cases of force majeure, it suffices to point out that, as is apparent from the explanations contained in paragraphs 23 to 26 above, the Board of Appeal established to the requisite legal standard firm B.’s failure to exercise the due care required. Therefore, the applicant’s arguments directed against the abstract interpretative passages found in the Board of Appeal’s reasoning are ineffective. In any event, the Board of Appeal correctly found that the conditions for the application of Article 81(1) of Regulation No 207/2009 had to be interpreted strictly. Observance of time-limits is a matter of public policy and restitutio in integrum of a registration after its cancellation is capable of undermining legal certainty.
