    The Court of Appeal granted Huawei's request for a discretionary review (R. 220.3 RoP) of the Munich Local Division's decision on a third-party access-to-file request under R. 262.1(b) RoP, finding that fundamental legal questions arise concerning the reviewability of rapporteur decisions under R. 333 RoP. The appeal is admitted and referred to a panel; Huawei is ordered to pay the fee difference of €2,700 between the discretionary review and appeal fees.
