LD Paris, December 19, 2024, Order, UPC_CFI_358/2023

1. Key takeaways

No Stay of Execution from the Court of First Instance

The Court rejected Claimant's request for a stay of enforcement of its first instance decision during the appeal period as this decision is solely subject to the competence of the Court of Appeal according to Art. 74 UPCA and Rule 223 RoP. In such a scenario, the Court of First Instance has no power to suspend the decision during the appeal period.

Confidentiality Club

The Court upheld the confidentiality club as ordered previously and did not modify the order as the parties did not agree on the modification of the confidentiality club subsequently.

The Court referred to Rule 262A RoP, which governs confidentiality clubs, and to previous case law (LD Paris, March 26, 2024, UPC_CFI_397/2023; LD The Hague, March 4, 2024, UPC_CFI_239/2023) to support its decision.
