The statutory threshold under s905 was crossed because the plaintiff failed to provide credible evidence of assets or present ability to pay, but on the exercise of the court's discretion security was refused because the plaintiff's claim and the defendant's counterclaim arise from the same facts so the Crabtree principle applies and defendant's defending costs are largely costs of prosecuting its counterclaim; therefore the application for security is dismissed.
