Mystery traffic device design case: can anyone help?

I've just received an email circular from the UK's very helpful Intellectual Property Office which reads as follows:

"We have received notification of a new case referred by Juzgado de lo Mercantil de Alicante - Spain, to the Court of Justice: C-488/10. The case regards the possible infringement of a Community design for a traffic signalling device and the application of prevention of use by a third party under Article 19(1)

The Court have been asked for a preliminary ruling on Article 19(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 6/2002 of 12 December 2001 on Community designs

This case and the questions referred to the Court can be viewed on our website at:

If you would like to comment on this case please e-mail policy@ipo.gsi.gov.uk before 29 November 2010.

Regards
International Policy Directorate
Intellectual Property Office"
I clicked the website and the case wasn't listed.  I then tried the case number on the Curia website and couldn't find it either.  Have I been pressing the wrong buttons? Can anyone help -- quickly, since time is of the essence ...
