The Court of Appeal rejected ASC's request for discretionary review of the Munich Local Division's order requiring ASC to provide security for costs. The application for suspensive effect was also rejected as it had become devoid of purpose once the discretionary review request was dismissed.

The discretionary review request is admissible but must be rejected as ASC failed to demonstrate that the impugned order is manifestly erroneous
BeklagterRechtsgrundlage: R. 220.3 RoP; UPC_CoA_489/2024; UPC_CoA_805/2025Xiaomi met the burden of presenting facts and evidence to support assertion of a risk of cost recovery
BeklagterRechtsgrundlage: R. 158 RoPXiaomi's licence offer and bank guarantee did not negate the risk of cost recovery since ASC did not accept the licence offer and the conditions for bank payment were not met
BeklagterRechtsgrundlage: R. 158 RoP
The Munich Local Division erred in finding a risk of cost recovery sufficient to justify security for costs
KlägerRechtsgrundlage: R. 158 RoPXiaomi's licence offer and bank guarantee demonstrate absence of risk of cost recovery
KlägerRechtsgrundlage: R. 158 RoPSecurity should be ordered only unless ASC provides proof of having secured litigation insurance
KlägerRechtsgrundlage: R. 158 RoP; UPC_CoA_890/2025Application for suspensive effect should be granted pending discretionary review
KlägerRechtsgrundlage: R. 223 RoP
