Recorder refused the Defendants' appeal and upheld the Master's refusal to order security for costs because (a) the plaintiff could not adduce additional affirmations on appeal where no cross-appeal was brought against the Master's refusal to admit them; (b) O.23 r.1(1)(a) is not rendered discriminatory by the Hong Kong Bill of Rights such that the Court's discretion is fettered; and (c) on the available evidence there was substantial reciprocity with Singapore and no evidence of enforcement difficulty or plaintiff impecuniosity sufficient to make it just to order security for costs.
