Article 280

At any stage of a suit, both in first instance and in appeal, the court may on the application of any defendant, order the plaintiff or the joinder of plaintiff, for reasons to be recorded, to give, within the time fixed by it, security for the payment of all costs incurred and likely to be incurred by any defendant.

An order under sub-Article (1) shall be made whenever it appears to the court that a sole plaintiff is, or if there are more plaintiffs than one that all the plaintiffs are, residing out of Eritrea and that that such plaintiff does not possess or that no one of such plaintiffs possess any sufficient immovable property within Eritrea other than the property in suit.

Whoever is about to leave Eritrea under such circumstances as to afford reasonable probability that he will not be forthcoming whenever he may he called to pay costs shall be deemed to be residing out of Eritrea within the meaning of sub-Article (2).
