    BerufungsentscheidungAppeal RoP220.2

    The Court of Appeal set aside the Court of First Instance orders that had refused Amazon permission to produce a private transcript of an oral hearing audio recording. The Court held that R. 115 RoP does not prohibit parties or their representatives from producing a private transcript of the audio recording, and that assistants or support staff (such as stenographers) may assist in producing such a transcript under supervision. The Court granted Amazon access to the oral hearing recording at the Local Division Düsseldorf and allowed the use of a professional transcriber, subject to confidentiality obligations.

Angenommene Argumente
Was das Gericht akzeptiert hat — nach Partei.

  • R. 115 RoP does not prohibit parties or their representatives from producing a private transcript of the audio recording; the silence of the provision on private transcripts means they are permitted

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: R. 115 RoP

  • The Drafting Committee's statement expressly confirmed that parties are free to take notes or arrange for a private transcript to be made

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: R. 115 RoP drafting history (Exhibit HRM 14)

  • An assistant or support staff such as a stenographer may produce a private transcript in the presence and under the supervision of the party or its representative

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: R. 115 RoP

  • Concerns about misuse of private transcripts can be addressed by proportionate conditions rather than a blanket prohibition

    KlägerRechtsgrundlage: R. 115 RoP; R. 262A RoP; R. 262 RoP
Zurückgewiesene Argumente
Was das Gericht nicht akzeptiert hat — und warum.

  • Production of a private transcript is not permissible because it could be used outside UPC proceedings to misrepresent Court proceedings, risk personal rights violations, and undermine the open atmosphere of judicial exchange

    BeklagterRechtsgrundlage: R. 115 RoP

  • Private transcripts would be without use as they have no probative value and could impair the search for truth in court proceedings

    BeklagterRechtsgrundlage: R. 115 RoP

  • The prohibition on private transcripts is consistent with the CJEU model under Art. 85 RoP CJEU on which R. 115 RoP was modelled

    BeklagterRechtsgrundlage: Art. 85 RoP CJEU; R. 115 RoP
