  Application For CostsPublic

  Summary: The judge-rapporteur stayed the cost proceedings (UPC_CFI_1599/2026) brought by the SEB companies against SharkNinja, pending the Court of Appeal's judgment in UPC_CoA_061/2026. The stay was granted because both parties consented and the appeal outcome may affect which party bears costs, making an immediate costs decision contrary to the proper administration of justice.
