Where plaintiffs are resident out of the jurisdiction and the defendant advances credible evidence that assets relied upon by plaintiffs may be unavailable to meet a costs order (here the defendant's claim that disputed shares are his fees), the court may exercise its discretion to order security for costs; the need and amount must be supported by the defendant's evidence and consideration of all circumstances.
