Defendant adduced credible evidence that the plaintiff lacked an operating business and that the alleged assets were of limited marketability or unavailable to satisfy costs; the plaintiff failed to provide timely, cogent evidence to rebut impecuniosity or to justify late adduction of the Tai Po property; applying the two-stage test under s905 Cap 622 and exercising discretion, security for costs in the sum of HK$278,000 was justified and the Master's order was upheld; the New Evidence Summons was dismissed for undue lateness and lack of sufficient probative value.
