    Summary The High Court of Bombay rejected the defendants' preliminary objections and dismissed their plea to reject the plaint (suit filed by Phoenix ARC against Future Brands and Future Entertainment). The court held that while Section 12-A of the Commercial Courts Act mandates pre-institution mediation, the bar doesn't apply when urgent interim relief is genuinely contemplated. Since the plaintiff had pleaded urgent need for interim protection due to expiring trademark agreements secured against a ₹500+ crore outstanding debt, the suit could proceed without completing mediation. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
