The application for security for costs was refused because the applicant did not establish that the appeal was clearly frivolous or an abuse such that security should be ordered; the respondent's assets (a half-share in a property forming part of the deceased's estate) were not shown to be inaccessible or insufficient to satisfy costs so as to constitute special circumstances under Order 59 r10(5); and the applicants had not met the higher threshold equivalent to a strike-out standard for the appeal.
