Order of the President of the Court of Appeal (in Dutch) in OrthoApnea / Vivisol v [anonymised] (EP 2 331 036). Defendants (appellants) applied for suspensive effect of an order refusing to extend the deadline for their rejoinder. The president found such an application may be admissible. The order addresses the procedural question of suspensive effect in the context of a refusal to extend a rejoinder deadline.
