Ruling of the Chair in connection with a disagreement that arose between the Edwin Coe Claimants (the "EC Claimants") and the Daimler Defendants ("Daimler") in connection with an information request application by one of the experts instructed in the proceedings, Mr Ian Thompson of Economic Insight, for the Defendant undertakings (which are truck manufacturers) to provide certain data and information relating to their past supplies of trucks. Mr Thompson is the EC Claimants’ economics expert in relation to Third Party Rent/ Lease Pass-On (on the lessor/ supplier side). The disagreement was essentially as to whether the terms of a Settlement Agreement between Daimler and the EC Claimants exempt Daimler from having to provide data requested by Mr Thompson for informing his economic work. The Tribunal held that the application could not be pursued against Daimler and should be dismissed because, under the Settlement Agreement, it is a claim that has been released by the EC Claimants against Daimler.
