The court held the jurat was not defective (and in any event would be allowed under Order 41 r4); the consent orders only conferred liberty to apply and did not bind plaintiffs to automatic payment; there was no material change of circumstances making the 1st plaintiff ordinarily resident in Hong Kong; delay was not inordinate; consequently defendants were entitled to further security and the court fixed further security at HK$4,000,000 for each defendant, payable into court by the specified date, failing which the plaintiffs' action would be dismissed and proceedings stayed until payment.
