Summary

Where it is likely in practice to be irreversible in view of the applicant's financial situation and hence might have the effect of prejudging the decision of the Court of First Instance in the main proceedings, the grant of an advance payment of damages sought by way of interim relief may be envisaged only if, on the one hand, the pleas and arguments put forward by the applicant in support of his request appear prima facie particularly strong and well founded and, on the other hand, there is undeniable urgency.Such likelihood of irreversibility exists specifically where, in order to prove the urgency of the application, the applicant describes the risk of bankruptcy to which he is exposed by his precarious financial situation, which in itself makes it scarcely possible in practice to make the advance subject to safeguards with a view to its repayment in the event that his claim in the main proceedings is rejected.
