Was ist diese UPC-Entscheidung?

Zusammenfassung: On a discretionary review (R. 220.3 RoP), the Court of Appeal resolved a divergence between divisions on how a rapporteur's R. 262.1(b) RoP decision on public access to the file may be challenged. It held that such decisions are subject to panel review under R. 333 RoP and, thereafter, to the appeal regime of R. 220.2/220.3 RoP — not the direct-appeal routes of R. 220.1(a) or (b). Reasoning that the file-access procedure has a hybrid administrative/adversarial character and that R. 333.1's notion of a 'case-management decision' is broad, the Court found Huawei had taken the correct procedural route and its appeal was therefore admissible. On the merits the appeal failed: once the underlying infringement proceeding has ended, the balance of interests generally favours granting access, a law firm qualifies as a member of the public with a legitimate educational/advisory interest, and no further confidentiality undertaking was warranted.
