UPC CFI CD Paris, 8 October 2025: Time extension would create imbalance between the parties because of imbalance

Request rejected to extend deadline for lodging a Rejoinder (R. 52 RoP. R. 9.3 RoP) from 16 October to 25 October, the deadline for lodging a Reply. Granting the application would allow the applicant more time to prepare their written pleadings than is ordinarily provided for by the relevant provision and this would create an imbalance between the parties, given that the claimants have already complied with the shorter, standard deadline set forth in the Rules. 

Requests for allocation of concerning applications for time extension will be decided in the final decision on the merits (R. 118.5)
