Summary: Milan Local Division order on an application by Progress Maschinen & Automation AG (claimant/applicant) to access the sealed expert report from previously-executed evidence preservation proceedings (ex parte order). As no main action on the merits was commenced and the defendants did not appeal, AWM and Schnell are entitled to have the collected evidence returned to them. The order deferred return of evidence until 5 June 2024 to allow potential Court of Appeal intervention.
