DECIDING JUDGES:
This Order was issued by Presiding Judge Thomas acting as judge-rapporteur.
LANGUAGE OF THE PROCEEDINGS: English
SUBJECT: R. 262A RoP, R. 353 RoP - Protection of confidential information, Application for rectification
GROUNDS FOR THE ORDER:
The application is admissible, in particular it was filed within the deadline pursuant to R. 353 RoP, but unfounded.
I.
According to R. 353 RoP, the Court may upon an application by a party made within one month of service of the decision or order rectify clerical mistakes, errors in calculation and obvious slips in the decision or order. 'Obvious slips' within the meaning of R. 353 RoP are all incorrect or incomplete statements of what the Court actually intended in the order or decision. In other words, the declaration of the Court's intention in the decision or order must deviate from the intention that existed when the decision was made (UPC_CFI_177/2023 (LD Düsseldorf), Order dated 30 June 2023, under II.1. - myStromer/Revolt Zycling; UPC_CFI_347/2024 (LD Düsseldorf), Order of 20 November 2024 - Valeo v. Magna).
II.
Based on these principles, there is no room for rectification in the present case.
The order to which the application refers contains neither an 'obvious slip' nor any other clerical mistake. In the 'unredacted version' it contains the name of the natural person of Defendant 7. to whom access was granted. It is only in the 'redacted version' that this name is deleted and replaced by '[…]'.
ORDER:
The application for rectification is dismissed.
DETAILS OF THE ORDER:
