Civil procedure 2013 NSCA 110

Leigh v. Belfast Mini-Mills Ltd.

The appeals were consolidated because they were duplicative and there was no reason for twin proceedings; security for costs in the amount of $4,000 was ordered because the appellants demonstrated special circumstances — repeated non‑compliance with discovery and disclosure orders, failure to pay multiple costs awards, avoidance of execution — creating an objective risk they would not satisfy an adverse costs award, and the court balanced that risk against access to justice and found security appropriate and not amounting to stifling an arguable appeal.

  • Security for costs
  • Consolidation of appeals
  • Non‑compliance with discovery
  • Enforcement of costs orders
  • Stay of execution
  • Guerrilla litigation
