UPC CFI LD Dusseldorf, 5 August 2024: Only doubts do not justify security for costs

Security for costs dismissed (Rule 158 RoP). 

Neither a financial risk nor a likelihood of unenforceability is presented to the Court. 

It is not disputed by the parties that the claimant, as part of the PepsiCo group, is financially able to comply with a decision on costs. 

The defendant's sole argument that it had doubts as to the claimant's compliance with a decision could not be substantiated by facts.
