The appeal was allowed and security for costs was ordered because the plaintiff is ordinarily resident outside Hong Kong (Ukraine), produced no evidence of assets in Hong Kong, and failed to show a high probability of success on the merits; reputational damages could not be sustained without first proving breach of contract and there was no evidence the claim would be stifled by the security order.
