| + | ===== Outcome ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | A PIO's failure to respond within 30 days is a deemed refusal under §7(2); First Appeal lies directly. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ===== Ratio decidendi ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Where a PIO fails to provide a response within the §7(1) 30-day window, §7(2) creates a deemed refusal. The applicant is entitled to file a First Appeal under §19(1) without waiting for a formal rejection order, and the FAA must proceed on the merits. | ||
