Where a plaintiff is ordinarily resident out of the jurisdiction and is a personal representative, the court may order security for costs because the personal representative is personally liable for costs and the existence or value of an indemnity from the estate is irrelevant to the defendant’s right to enforce costs; no exceptional circumstances justified admitting late valuation evidence; security was ordered in the sum of HK$1.2 million payable within 28 days and costs awarded to the 2nd Defendant.
