Although jurisdictional thresholds for security for costs were met (1st plaintiff treated as nominal for Order 23 r1(b); jurisdiction under s905 for 2nd plaintiff), the judge exercised discretion against ordering further security for costs because the overall interest of justice favoured allowing a trial on the merits given the charitable trust interest, late disclosure considerations, and prejudice to plaintiffs; therefore no further security ordered and costs of the applications reserved.
