FAQ

What is the court guided by when examining the application?: When selecting the type of security the court takes into account the interests of both parties to the proceedings, so that the holder of a right is assured appropriate legal protection and the obliged party is not disproportionately encumbered. Generally, security cannot be intended to satisfy the claim.

The court considers the application for security within the limits of that application, taking as the basis for its decision the materials collected in the case. If it is determined that the application does not satisfy formal requirements, the chairman sends back the application without summonsing the applicant to introduce amendments.

The court may make enforcement of a decision to grant the security contingent upon payment of a deposit to secure any possible claims of the obliged party.
