    Summary: Procedural order of the Court of Appeal (UPC_CoA_581/2025, App_30685/2025, OTEC v Steros) rejecting OTEC's application under R. 223 RoP for suspensive effect of its appeal against the Hamburg Local Division's order of 16 June 2025 granting provisional measures to Steros. No exceptional circumstances justified a departure from the principle that an appeal has no suspensive effect.
