Telefónica Deutschland: Court of arbitration confirms Price Review 1 opinion
as binding - no retroactive MBA MVNO price reduction
Today, the competent court of arbitration confirmed the binding nature of
the final decision of the independent expert, dated 19 December 2019, with
regards to the price review (PR1) initiated by 1&1 Drillisch at the
beginning of September 2017.
In December 2019, the independent expert had fully confirmed the prices set
out in the MBA MVNO agreement for 1&1 Drillisch's capacity-based access to
Telefónica Deutschland's mobile network and thus completely rejected 1&1
Drillisch's request for a retroactive price reduction. With the now
concluded arbitration proceeding, 1&1 Drillisch tried unsuccessfully to
challenge this expert opinion. The reservation still contained in the expert
opinion with regards to PR1 has already been removed in favour of Telefónica
Deutschland on 17 December 2020. As such, there will be no retroactive price
reduction from 5 September 2017 onwards.
The arbitration ruling is legally binding between the parties and has the
effect of a final court judgment.
Furthermore, Telefónica Deutschland continues to consider the Price Reviews
2, 5 and 6 initiated by 1&1 Drillisch, which were not subject of the
arbitration proceeding, to be unjustified in terms of content.
