v.
Texas Instruments - UPC_CFI_132/2024
security for costs in the case of an investment company
notable
The Mannheim LD panel confirmed EUR 600,000 security for costs order against NPE/investment company TOTAL SEMICONDUCTOR under Art. 69(4) UPCA / R. 158 RoP. While NPE status alone does not justify security, cumulative factors — no operative business, recently founded, co-working space, investment-funded, vague financial disclosures — create legitimate and real concerns about cost recovery. Burden shifts to claimant once defendant presents credible facts. Claimant failed to substantiate its financial position.
