Security for costs was ordered because P is ordinarily resident outside Hong Kong, P failed to demonstrate a very high probability of success on the pleaded case, P did not identify substantial fixed assets within Hong Kong or certain readily enforceable assets in Mainland China, and P failed to adduce credible evidence that an order would stifle the claim; exercising broad‑brush discretion the court ordered security of HK$550,000 and stayed proceedings pending payment and allowed costs to defendants of HK$320,000 on a nisi basis.
