The Court of Appeal rejected OPPO/OROPE's application to shorten the time limit for filing the respondent's statement of response in an appeal concerning the language of proceedings (Rule 323 RoP), pursuant to Rule 225(e) and 9.3(b) RoP. The application was filed on the last day of the time limit and did not adequately consider the respondent's (Panasonic's) right to adequate preparation time.
