Our analysis

Summary

By an order lodged on 28 July 2026 and published on the register on 14 October 2026, the Milan Local Division stayed proceedings UPC_CFI_2297/2026 and UPC_CFI_2300/2026 between Pirelli Tyre and Sichuan Yuanxing Rubber, following a worldwide settlement reported by the parties. It limited the stay to 1 December 2026, however, whereas the parties had sought a stay until 1 October 2027. The order refers to the earlier proceedings UPC_CFI_649/2024, UPC_CFI_770/2024 and UPC_CFI_556/2025 in connection with a costs application under Rules 150 et seq. RoP.

Question

When the parties jointly apply for a stay after settling, must the Court grant it for the period they request?

Decision

The Local Division granted the application under Rule 295(d) RoP and stayed the proceedings from the lodging of the order, but only until 1 December 2026. The effect of the stay on the time limits of the written procedure is governed by Rule 296.3 RoP.

Key points for practice

The parties’ agreement does not bind the Court as to the length of the stay, and it may set a considerably earlier end date than the one proposed.
Parties who settle in the course of proceedings should plan, before the end date set by the Court, either a withdrawal or a fresh application for a stay.

Provisions applied

Rules of Procedure: Rules 150 et seq., 295(d) and 296.3 RoP
