The court found the conditions of s.357 satisfied: the plaintiff is a shell company with no assets and appears funded by third‑party backers who could have provided security; the stifling argument and alleged delay failed on the facts; Master Souza's exercise of discretion and the quantum of HK$700,000 for security for costs were correct, so the appeal is dismissed and the order for security is upheld.
