The court dismissed the plaintiff's appeal and refused summary judgment because the defendant demonstrated a bona fide arguable defence on the construction and effect of the 11 April 1980 letter and factual disputes that could not be resolved without evidence; additionally, delay in bringing the O.14 application should be justified and affidavit evidence is normally required in the ordinary course; the court ordered further security for costs because the plaintiff is ordinarily resident abroad and the additional HK$7,500 was not oppressive given costs likely to be incurred.
