UPC CFI LD Dusseldorf, 8 August 2024: Confidentiality club membership and accountability

Confidentiality club membership (Rule 262A RoP). 

In general, there is no reason to limit the authorised representatives of a party to a certain number or even to UPC representatives and their internal assistants, who must also be named. However, it must be clear who is obliged to maintain confidentiality and who can be held responsible and legally liable in the event of a breach of the confidentiality order.  

In principle, it is the responsibility of each party to identify the natural persons to be granted access to the confidential information. Once a party has done so and has identified the natural persons to whom it wishes to grant access to the confidential information, it is for the other party to state the reasons why, in its opinion, such access should not be granted in the particular case.
