Following a Request For Proposal, we were selected to represent the Belgian Institute for Postal services and Telecommunication (BIPT) & Belgian Government in litigations on licenses issues brought before the 18th Chamber of the Brussels Court of appeals (now called the Markets Court / Marktenhof / Cour des Marchés).

Cases were initiated by DHL, GLS, Fedex and other smaller newcomers in the local postal market. They lasted for near to a decade.

Ultimately, proceedings were brought to the Court of Justice of the EU.

We successfully conducted all proceedings.

Flip Petillion and Jan Janssen have published several articles on the subject. Flip also edited a book on telecommunications law, together with BIPT former spokesman Dirk Appelmans, now Head of Postal Unit of BIPT.
