Court of First Instance - Munich (DE) Local Division, Order dated 12/12/2024, Sumi Agro Limited, Sumi Agro Europe Limited (Case/ Registry number: UPC_CFI_201/2024, ORD_65555/2024)
Example of decision on starting of the proceedings: "Rule 213 (1) RoP states that applicant has to “start” proceedings on the merits. The wording of the rule unambiguously states that the “start” of the proceedings on the merits is sufficient. Starting something in other words means to begin with. Starting the proceedings on the merits means that the statement of claim is filed in the CMS and the court fees have been paid. However, nothing in R. 213 (1) RoP states or implies that for the start of the proceedings the court fees also need to received by the Court."
