v.
Meril et al.
Since the imposition of a security for legal costs constitutes a restriction of the right to an effective remedy before a court, the need to protect the defendant has to be weight against the burden on the claimant caused by an order to provide a security. There should be no unjustified interference with the claimant’s right to an effective remedy and to a fair hearing.
The fact that the Claimant is located in the United States and that we, for obvious reasons, still lack experience from enforcing orders by the UPC in the United States, is not in itself sufficient for ordering security for costs.
The court dismissed the application for a security for costs.
