    Summary: The court dismissed the defendant's second application to postpone the oral hearing scheduled for 8 December 2026. The court found that the defendant failed to present substantial grounds justifying a postponement, as the repeated assertion that the managing director was unavailable was unsubstantiated and no exceptional circumstances were demonstrated. Leave to appeal was not granted.

    Show the legal issues (5)
    • Application to postpone oral hearing
    • Substantial grounds required for postponement after date is set
    • Right to be heard vs. principles of expediency and procedural concentration
    • Defendant's failure to respond to scheduling invitation within deadline
    • Unavailability of managing director as grounds for postponement

Accepted arguments
What the court agreed with — by party.

  • The respondent did not provide substantial grounds in its second postponement application; merely repeating that the managing director was unavailable without substantiation does not justify a postponement.

    ClaimantLegal basis: Rules 9.2, 9.3b(b), 343.2(a) UPC Rules of Procedure; Articles 42, 52(1) UPCA

  • After a hearing date is agreed with the parties, alternative dates are no longer reserved for the specific proceeding, so relying on a previously proposed alternative date in a late application is not a valid ground for postponement.

    ClaimantLegal basis: UPC Rules of Procedure (principle of expedition and concentration)
Rejected arguments
What the court did not agree with — and why.

  • The managing director of the respondent is unavailable on 8 December 2026 due to a mandatory internal company event, and the hearing should therefore be postponed.

    RespondentLegal basis: Right to be heard (Articles 42, 52(1) UPCA; Rules 112-115 UPC Rules of Procedure)
