22-03-2026 Print this pageIPPT20260224, UPC CoA, Gowling v Sumi Agro & Syngenta
Request for public access to the register partially granted (R. 262.1(b) RoP).
Reasoned requests to the Registry for written pleadings and evidence, lodged at the Court of First Instance, shall be made to the relevant Division.
Similarly, reasoned requests for written pleadings and evidence, lodged at the Court of Appeal, shall be made to the Court of Appeal.
The case-file of the case in first instance is not generally relodged at the CoA, meaning that the CoA is not able to grant access to it.
A request for written pleadings and evidence must be specified to the greatest extent possible and cannot be made in terms which would require the Court to search and select documents based on relevance criteria set up by the requesting party.
