The UPC has become known for its expeditious decision-making processes. Just how expeditious it can be, has been shown in a recent case filed with the Munich local division against one of our clients.
After a quick review of the claimant’s statement of claim, we informed the court by way of preliminary objection that in light of the Helsinki decision, the UPC was not competent to hear the case.
In response to our submission, the claimant withdrew the complaint and the case was over approx. 6 weeks after the statement of claim had been served, much to the satisfaction of our client of course.
