Leave to re-amend was refused because the proposed amendments would introduce a new cause of action that did not exist at the date of issue of the writ contrary to Hong Kong Court of Appeal authority; P1 was ordered to provide security for defendants' costs under section 357 Cap.32 and Order 23 r.1 because credible evidence and investigative findings justified the inference that the transactions relied upon to show P1's solvency were unreliable or sham and there was reason to believe P1 may be unable to pay defendants' costs.
