The plaintiff is not ordinarily resident in Hong Kong and does not have substantial fixed assets in the jurisdiction readily available for costs; the defendants did not prove an address change aimed at evasion; the plaintiff's claim is genuine but not highly likely to succeed; therefore it is just to exercise the court's discretion to order security for costs of HK$532,845, stay further proceedings pending payment and dismiss the claim if security is not provided.
