If candidates object to this (selection) decision, they must make their objections known to TenneT within 10 days of the postmarked date of the (selection) decision by serving an application for interim measures before the competent preliminary injunctions court at Arnhem. If candidates initiate legal proceedings in connection with the(selection) decision after these 10 days, TenneT will adopt the position that those candidates have inadmissible claims. The period of 10 days must therefore be regarded as a time limit.
Candidates that institute summary legal proceedings are requested to send a copy of the draft summons via the message module on the Negometrix platform and to ask TenneT to provide the unavailability dates of TenneT and its legal counsel in advance. TenneT has the right to provide a copy of the served summons to stakeholders.

If TenneT has notified the selected candidates of the instituted summary legal proceedings, the selected candidates will be required to intervene in the legal proceedings, on penalty of forfeiture of the right to take further action against any changes to the intended selection.
