Expert Commentary

Stay Facts Both parties asked for a stay of the proceedings until 13 February 2026. The JR 1. The stay is granted. 2. If a R. 262.1 RoP request is filed by a member of the public, parties will have the opportunity to ask for confidentiality of the confidential information submitted with the application for the stay. 3. Within one week after 13 February 2026 claimant has to confirm the Court if the case is withdrawn or will resume. Comment The stay is apparently granted after a reasoned request. However, the reasons are confidential. So parties should realize that even if both parties agree to a stay, this is not automatically granted!
