While resolving the issue of necessity to apply interim security measures, the court must assess the amount of the claim not as an absolute figure but taking into account the financial possibilities of a particular respondent. The Lithuanian Court of Appeals in its 6 September 2007 ruling in case No 2- 532/2007 AB Vakarø laivø gamykla v UAB Mechanika has stated that there are grounds for applying interim security measures in cases where litigation is concerned with large sums of money. Such conclusion however is made considering whether the respondent is likely to avoid obeying the court decision and whether he will possess enough financial resources for this purpose. Thus, the court must consider whether the amount of the claim is large for a particular respondent. |
