The Munich Central Division ordered Harvard College (claimant/defendant in revocation action) to provide security for legal costs under Article 69(4) UPCA and Rule 158 RoP, finding legitimate concern about enforcement of a potential cost order against NanoString Technologies Europe (a UK-based entity) in light of a preliminary injunction already imposed.

The Munich Central Division ordered that a preliminary objection based on Articles 29 and 30 Brussels Ibis Regulation (lis pendens / related actions) be dealt with in the main proceedings rather than separately, for reasons of procedural economy and efficiency under Rule 20.2 RoP.
