The court found on the facts that the plaintiff is ordinarily resident out of the jurisdiction because it is a BVI company with registered office in the BVI and its sole shareholder and director is resident outside Hong Kong, with no evidence that central management, books or substantial habitual corporate activities are in Hong Kong; accordingly Order 23 r1(a) applies and, in the exercise of discretion, security for costs in the sum of HK$300,000 payable up to the conclusion of discovery was ordered.
