The judge found on the evidence that the plaintiff is ordinarily resident outside Hong Kong (incorporated in BVI, lacking Hong Kong business registration, business connections to Landing in South Korea and documents denominated in KRW) but declined to order security for costs because, in all the circumstances, it would be unjust: the defendant's counterclaim arises from the same matters and will be litigated anyway, both parties are effectively attackers and the counterclaim is not greater than the claim, so ordering security would be unfair.
