Question juridique clé
Whether the plaintiff had to provide security for the defendant's party costs under § 96 lit. b ZPO because of financial distress or threatened insolvency.
Solution extraite
No. § 96 lit. b ZPO lists the grounds for security exhaustively and does not extend to mere payment difficulties or the mere risk of bankruptcy.
Motifs extraits
The statute refers to clear, easily verifiable situations and must be interpreted restrictively; extending it by judicial creation would contradict its wording and purpose.
