[2] See, for example, Lukić Decision, para. 12, in which the Appeals Chamber found that the Trial Chamber did not abuse its discretion in admitting supplementary material to the Prosecution’s response filed one day after the deadline “in light of the relevance of the information contained in the Prosecution [supplementary material]” for the issue before it and the “opportunity afforded to the Appellant to reply to it”. See also Prosecutor v. Ljube Boškoski et al., Case No. IT-04-82-AR63.5, Decision on Ljube Boškoski’s Interlocutory Appeal on Second Motion for Provisional Release, 28 August 2006, para. 9, in which the Appeals Chamber admitted an appeal filed one day after the deadline because it considered it to be in the interests of justice due to the “substantial importance of the Appeal for the rights of the Appellants.”
