The court upheld the master's order for security for costs of HK$500,000 because the plaintiff demonstrated impecuniosity not shown to be caused by the defendant, the merits were in serious dispute, there was no evidence of alternative sources for security, and the likely length and interlocutory costs of the trial justified the sum.
