The judge acted within his discretion in finding the appellant impecunious and in ordering security for costs of HK$700,000 because there was a real risk the respondents would be unable to recover their costs given outstanding adverse costs orders and the appellant lacked readily available assets; the extension of time was considered but the merits did not favor the appellant and the security order did not amount to unlawful stifling of the appeal.
