    Application RoP 333Public

    Summary: Order by Hamburg Local Division (UPC_CFI_429/2024, 9 May 2025) dismissing defendants' (Chint/Astronergy) panel review application under R. 333 RoP against refusal to order claimant JingAo Solar to provide security for costs. The panel upheld the rapporteur's order: defendants failed to substantiate a legitimate concern about unenforceability of a cost order against the Chinese claimant, notwithstanding a conflicting order in parallel Munich LD proceedings.
