Case Law

Court of Appeal

PPT20241002, UPC CoA, Meril v Edwards Lifesciences
No reasonable doubt that the Court of Appeal’s interpretation of Art. 69(1) UPCA is in conformity with Art. 14 of Directive 2004/48. The Court of Appeal will therefore not refer a question to the CJEU.

IPPT20240917, UPC CoA, Mala v Nokia
No need to refer a question on the interpretation of Art. 71c(2) or the applicability of Art. 29 to 32 of the Brussels I recast Regulation to the CJEU. Whether or not the Court of Appeal’s interpretation of Art. 71c(2) is correct and Art. 29 to 32 of the Brussels I recast Regulation apply, the result is the same.
