The Court concluded the plaintiff is ordinarily resident outside Hong Kong and has not demonstrated sufficient assets in Hong Kong or ease of enforcement; the appeal is at best arguable and not a strong countervailing factor; accordingly in special circumstances security for costs is justified and the sum of HK$500,000 (reduced from the HK$693,200 sought) was ordered to be paid into court within 28 days, with the appeal stayed until payment and dismissed on certified default, costs to follow the event.
