The summons for leave to appeal was dismissed because GNT failed to demonstrate a reasonable prospect of success: the judge did not err in relying on prior findings and evidence to conclude the plaintiff met the higher 'high probability of success' threshold for refusing security for costs, and the judge permissibly considered outstanding costs orders as a relevant circumstance in exercising the discretion under Order 23 rule 1(1) RHC.
