Kanokporn Natthachai v Simon Burrage & Anor

Kanokporn Natthachai v Simon Burrage & Anor

The claimant's evidence was not full, frank, and unequivocal regarding her financial circumstances; therefore, security for costs greater than £30,000 would not stifle her claim. £30,000 is less than the minimum security required, and the amount of security will be determined at the costs and case management conference after further evidence on the value of the claimant's house is considered.
