Relation with Agreement: Article [[UPCA_073|73]] 

[Examples of final decisions of the Court of First Instance: Rule [[UPCA_RoP_118|118]] (decision on the merits), 
Rule [[UPCA_RoP_140|140]] (decision on the award of damages), Rule [[UPCA_RoP_157|157]](decision on costs)] 

Note to Rule [[UPCA_RoP_220|220.2]]: Some members of the Drafting Committee believe there is a lack of clarity in Article [[UPCA_073|73]](2)(b)(ii) as to the proper meaning of “Court”. The Committee have therefor simply reproduced the 
wording of the Article in Rule [[UPCA_RoP_220|220.2]].
