That pre-hearing statement starts with the following two sentences (my translation): It is not to be expected that the proportionality analysis envisioned by [the proposed reform statute on injunctive relief] will result in any fundamental departure from the principles of the
Heat Exchanger case law. The probability of a finding or, respectively, negation of proportionality in a given case is, therefore, not going to change with respect to the underlying principles.

That statement by the Federal Court of Justice will be cited by plaintiffs and, ultimately, by the lower courts.
