Security for costs ordered in sum of HK$250,000 because plaintiff is ordinarily resident outside Hong Kong, a valid legal aid certificate covers much of the defendants' likely costs on liability (leaving primarily costs before grant of legal aid and quantum for 2nd plaintiff uncovered), the application was not sufficiently late to bar relief, and the reduced amount is proportionate and will not stifle the claim.
