UPC: Obligation for Earliest and Complete Submissions Also in Suspensive Effect Requests

In this decision, the Court of Appeal emphasizes that the principle of acceleration in the Rules of Procedure also applies to requests for suspensive effect. The principle that parties must present their complete pleadings as early as possible in the proceedings also applies to requests for suspensive effect. An application for suspensive effect must therefore contain all grounds, facts, evidence, and arguments on which the applicant intends to rely. A subsequent application for suspensive effect is inadmissible unless the applicant can demonstrate that the new application is based on submissions that could not reasonably have been asserted in the previous application.
