After the Higher Regional Court Düsseldorf has already adjudicated Deutsche
Telekom AG on May 16th 2007 in a first of total three lawsuits regarding
the data cost reclamation on the payment of € 52,04 million, today telegate
received a further positive judgment in a second lawsuit: Thus Deutsche
Telekom has to refund data costs in the amount of € 4,25 million plus
interest during pendancy of legal action for excessively charged fees for
the period January to September 1999.
The Higher Regional Court Düsseldorf reconfirmed its judgement dated June
2005. The renewed ruling was made after the Federal High Court in Karlsruhe
has rejected the initial ruling of July 2006 and passed it back for a
renewed hearing. The special relevance of today’s ruling is based upon the
fact, that for the first time a ruling in the pending lawsuits between
telegate and Deutsche Telekom was made according to the standards of the
Higher Federal Court. The Higher Regional Court did not grant an appeal.
The Higher Regional Court has scheduled the final ruling for the third
lawsuit of the data cost litigation cases for June 27th 2007. In the
lawsuit ‘datagate vs. Deutsche Telekom AG’ (court ref. No. VI-2U9/05)
telegate’s 100% subsidiary sues Deutsche Telekom for the repayment of €
30,72 million plus interest during pendancy of legal action for the period
2000 until 2004. The first instance ruled fully in favour of telegate.
