CostsGeneric Order
Munich Local Division (Judge-rapporteur Dr. Zigann) issued a procedural order in the costs determination proceedings of Edwards Lifesciences v Meril (UPC_CFI_815/2024, infringement action previously resolved). The order invited Edwards to comment within 10 days on the proposed confidentiality arrangement (Rule 262A/262.2 RoP) for the costs application, indicating that Meril would likely be given unlimited access to the costs documents under Rule 262.2 RoP (protection against third parties only). Various stay applications were addressed in separate orders.
