Summary: The Court of Appeal set aside paragraph 3 of the Brussels Local Division's order of 21 March 2025, which had denied Barco's application for provisional measures against Yealink. The appeal concerned the competence of the Brussels Local Division and the proper handling of an application for provisional measures, including referral to the competent division (R. 19.5 RoP applied mutatis mutandis). The Court also addressed interim cost awards in provisional measures proceedings: Barco, as the unsuccessful applicant for provisional measures at first instance, was ordered to bear Yealink's costs. An interim costs award up to half the applicable ceiling was granted to Yealink on appeal.
