The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary

Walter A. Shumaker and George Foster Longsdorf; ed. James C. Cahill · 1922

Security for costs or expenses. This term is used among the civilians (Nov. 112, c. 2), and generally on the continent of Europe. In nearly all the countries of Europe, a foreign plaintiff, whether resident there or not, is required to give caution pro expensis, that is, security for costs. In some states this requisition is modified, and when such plaintiff has real estate or a commetcial or manufacturing establishment within the state, he is not required to give such caution.
