Summary: The Milan Local Division panel dismissed Cardo's application under R. 9, 333 and 334(a) RoP for review and shortening of deadlines, upholding the judge-rapporteur's order that set a notional common start date of 10 June 2026 for all defendants' statements of defence. The Panel held the order was a balanced compromise that extended time for Ziwu while shortening it by an equivalent period for Resosport, and noted the Court cannot compel a representative to accept service under R. 271.1(c) RoP.

Summary: The Milan Local Division issued a procedural order under R. 9 RoP aligning the deadlines for all defendants to file their statements of defence and counterclaims for revocation. The judge rapporteur set 10 June 2026 as a notional common starting date for all defendants (subject to Resosport's immediate acceptance of service), resulting in a common deadline of 10 September 2026 for filing defences.
