On a broad‑brush assessment of the defendants' skeleton bill and recognising the limits of the hearing (no mini‑taxation), the court fixed security at $5,000,000 to cover Parts I–III including the $2,000,000 already ordered (hence $3,000,000 top‑up within 28 days) and ordered an additional $1,600,000 tranche for discovery payable by 30 September 1999; the court refused to certify two counsel but certified leading counsel for the defendants and ordered dismissal of the action on default to furnish security.
