Summary: The Court of Appeal accepted Lionra's withdrawal of its appeal following an out-of-court settlement between the parties. The cross-appeal by Cisco was also deemed withdrawn. The appeal and cross-appeal proceedings were declared terminated. The request by Lionra for a 20% refund of court fees was rejected, as under the R. 370.9 RoP rules in force from 1 January 2026 a fee refund (of 50%) is only available if withdrawal occurs before the end of the written proceedings.

- Withdrawal of appeal under R. 265.1 RoP following out-of-court settlement
- Deemed withdrawal of cross-appeal upon withdrawal of main appeal
- Refund of court fees under R. 370.9 RoP
- Applicability of new court fee schedule (from 1 January 2026) to pending proceedings
- 2025-08-12
Summary: Court of Appeal (12 August 2025) extended the deadline for Cisco to file its response to Lionra's appeal and any cross-appeal by two weeks (to 3 October 2025), finding a full month extension too long and one week too short given that Cisco had only recently obtained access to Lionra's unredacted appeal grounds (which contained confidential source code material).

- Extension of time for appeal response (R. 9.3 RoP)
- Confidentiality (R. 262A RoP)

The new court fee refund rules under R. 370.9 RoP (in force from 1 January 2026) apply based on the date of the withdrawal request, not the date the appeal was filed; since the withdrawal was requested on 6 July 2026, the new rules apply
RespondentLegal basis: R. 370.9 RoP (version from 1 January 2026); general principle that individuals cannot rely on legislative stability
The old R. 370.9 RoP (prior to 1 January 2026) should apply to this appeal because it was already pending at that date, entitling Lionra to a 20% court fee refund upon withdrawal before oral proceedings
ClaimantLegal basis: R. 370.9 RoP (version prior to 1 January 2026); legal certainty / legitimate expectations
