    Procedural onlyAppeal decisionRequest for a discretionary review (RoP 220.3)

    The Court of Appeal granted Huawei's request for a discretionary review under R. 220.3 RoP, finding that the case raises fundamental legal questions regarding whether a rapporteur's decision under R. 262.1(b) RoP is reviewable by the panel under R. 333 RoP and how an appeal may be brought against such a decision. The appeal was admitted and referred to a panel of the Court of Appeal, with Huawei ordered to pay additional court fees of €2,700 to top up to the full appeal fee of €4,000.
