Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the lower court correctly allocated costs under Article 107 ZPO after the proceedings became moot
Decisione estratta
The lower court was entitled to apply discretionary cost allocation because the case became moot through settlement and the appeal’s arguments did not show any misapplication of law or manifestly incorrect fact-finding.
Motivazione estratta
The respondent had substantially prevailed in the interim-measures proceedings, the appellant had caused the dispute, and the settlement largely matched the provisional relief. Any uncertainty about extension of the peremptory deadline could also be weighed in equity.
