    DismissedAppeal decisionRequest for a discretionary review (RoP 220.3)

    Court of Appeal (standing judge) dismissed Angelalign's request for discretionary review under R.220.3 RoP against a procedural order of the Düsseldorf Local Division extending a deadline in provisional measures proceedings. The CoA found that no manifest error was demonstrated: the Local Division did not exceed its discretionary powers, correctly applied R.9.3(a) RoP, and properly exercised its discretion in allowing a late reply based on human error. The requirements for discretionary review were not met.

    Legal issues:Discretionary review (R.220.3 RoP)Manifest error standardExtension of time limits (R.9.3(a) RoP)Hierarchy of R.320 RoP and R.9.3(a) RoP for missed deadlines
