The Court of Appeal held the judge did not err in law or fact in refusing to order security for costs: the discretionary nature of Order 23 r.1(1)(a) permits consideration of the practical reality that the plaintiff's liabilities would be met (by DSF and, in practical terms, Danish governmental pressure), and that inference was open on the evidence so the refusal stood; appeal dismissed.
