Security for costs in the sum of HK$186,500 was ordered because the plaintiff was shown to be impecunious, filed no evidence opposing the application, provided no particulars to demonstrate arguable merits of the appeal, and failed to show inability to raise security elsewhere; the defendants' estimate was adjusted downward by the court using a broad brush approach; failure to pay within 28 days will result in dismissal of the appeal and the appeal is stayed until payment.
