Summary: The Court of Appeal rejected Dolby's and Vectis' application for suspensive effect under R. 223 RoP and their requests to stay the first-instance proceedings, holding that the impugned order of the Local Division The Hague was not manifestly wrong. Dolby's appeal was held inadmissible because the impugned order did not adversely affect it, the operative part having ruled only on the admissibility of the counterclaim against Vectis.
