The application for security for costs was refused on the ground of delay because the defendants had earlier confirmed they would not bring further interlocutory applications when leave to set down was granted, the late application would cause real prejudice to the plaintiff given the imminent trial, and the defendants' explanation for delay was not credible; the trial judge also declined to assess merits at this stage to avoid pre-judging the trial.
