Abstract The search for events containing isolated leptons (electrons or muons) and missing transverse momentum produced in $e^\pm p$ collisions is performed with the H1 detector at HERA in the period 1994--2007. The analysed data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 478~pb$^{-1}$, which includes 189~pb$^{-1}$ of $e^{+}p$ data and 170 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^{-}p$ data from the new HERA~II phase. A total of 59 events are observed in the complete HERA data, compared to a Standard Model (SM) prediction of 58.9~$\pm$~8.2. At large hadronic transverse momentum $P_{T}^{X} >$~25~GeV, a total of 24 events are observed compared to a SM prediction of 15.8~$\pm$~2.5. In this region, 21 events are observed in the $e^{+}p$ data compared to a SM prediction of 8.9~$\pm$~1.5, whereas in the $e^{-}p$ data 3 events are observed compared to a SM prediction of 6.9~$\pm$~1.0.
