The appellant shall pay the fixed fee and, where applicable, the value based fee for the appeal, in accordance with Part 6. Rule 15.2 shall apply mutatis mutandis.

Case Law:

IPPT20240215, UPC CoA, Meril v Edwards Lifesciences
Court fee of € 11.000 is payable for appeal under Rule 220(1)(a) RoP against an order determining which party is to bear the costs of the proceedings in the context of the dismissal of an application for interim measures under Rule 360 RoP. (Rule 228 RoP). In the absence of a specific fee, the fee is to be paid for the case that is most comparable to the present case according to the system of the table of fees. The Table of Fees determines the fee for an appeal under Rule 220.1(a) RoP based on the nature of the action or application decided by the Court of First Instance. Under this system, the provision providing for a fee of €11,000 for an appeal under Rule 220.1(c) RoP concerning a request for provisional measures under Article 62 UPCA applies mutatis mutandis to the present appeal proceedings. This is because these appeal proceedings also concern an appeal against an order terminating proceedings relating to a request for provisional measures under Article 62 UPCA.
