notable
The Hamburg LD (full panel) upheld the judge-rapporteur's refusal to order security for costs against a Chinese claimant (JingAo Solar) under R. 158 RoP. The claimant's location in China alone does not justify a security order — such an assumption would be 'a priori discrimination'. Defendants failed to present concrete evidence that UPC cost decisions cannot be enforced in China. Hamburg LD explicitly disagreed with Munich LD's parallel decision (UPC_CFI_425/2024) ordering security. Leave to appeal granted because R. 158 requirements not decided uniformly.
