ORDER 60 : SECURITY FOR COSTS
1. A plaintiff (and, in respect of a counter-claim which is not merely in the nature of a set-off, a defendant) ordinarily resident out of Cyprus may, at any stage of the action, be ordered to give security for costs, though he may be temporarily resident in Cyprus .
[Δ.Κ. 31.12.1997] [Text added by: Δ.Κ. 31.12.1997:] Νοείται ότι αλλοδαποί εργαζόμενοι με χαμηλό εισόδημα εξαιρούνται οποιασδήποτε διαταγής για παροχή ασφάλειας εξόδων. 2. In actions brought by persons resident out of Cyprus , when the plaintiff's claim is founded on a judgment or order or on a negotiable instrument, the power to require the plaintiff to give security for costs shall be in the discretion of the Court.
3. Where a person sues as next friend of an infant or other person under disability he may, if an appellant, be ordered to give security for costs.
4. If it appears that a person suing is not the real plaintiff but is merely suing as nominal plaintiff in somebody else's interests, then such person may, at any stage of the action, be required to give security for costs on the grounds of insolvency or poverty.
5. Where the Court orders security for costs to be given it may stay the proceedings in the action until such security is given, and in the event of the security not being given within the time appointed may dismiss the action.
6. Where a bond is to be given as security for costs, it shall, unless the Court or a Judge otherwise directs, be given to the party or person requiring the security, and not to an officer of the Court.
