The court held that the Plaintiff's post‑July 2019 amendments and additional witness evidence amounted to a material change of circumstances that materially increased the Defendants' costs exposure; applying a broad‑brush assessment and discounting the defendants' claimed fees, the court allowed the Amendment Summons but fixed the additional security at $1,800,000 (to be paid into court within 28 days) rather than the full sum claimed, and ruled that complete indemnity was not appropriate.
