Procedural Posture

Commercial Urgent Application (référé) / Court of Appeal Ruling on Admissibility and Merits of Urgent Application

  1. 1 Whether the Court of Appeal has jurisdiction to hear an urgent application at first instance
  2. 2 Whether an urgent application can be re-litigated after a final decision on the same matter
  3. 3 Whether the applicant demonstrated sufficient urgency and legal basis for the relief sought

Ratio Decidendi

The Court of Appeal has jurisdiction to hear urgent applications linked to pending appeals, but not to re-open matters already finally decided.

Urgent application dismissed as inadmissible (res judicata).
