    RevocationPublic

    Summary: Procedural order of the Central Division (Munich Section) in a revocation action. The Court held that the claimant Sypox qualifies as an SME under R.370.8 RoP so its reduced court fee is adequate, set the provisional value of the proceedings at EUR 2,000,000, rejected Sypox's request to lower the ceiling for recoverable costs, and REJECTED Topsoe's request for security for costs under R.158 RoP on the ground that Topsoe, bearing the burden of substantiation, had not shown a genuine risk to recoverability. No ruling on validity. [operative 'ORDER', page 8]

    RevocationPublic

    Summary: In the Sypox v Topsoe revocation action the Munich Section of the Central Division took note that Sypox withdrew the unredacted Investment Agreement (D36) and ordered that it be disregarded, with Sypox relying only on the redacted version D36R. Topsoe's requests for access were rejected for want of a sufficient legal interest, Sypox's confidentiality interest outweighing Topsoe's, and the decision on public access was deferred until a member of the public requests it.
