The judge exercised discretion to fix security at a level sufficient to cover the plaintiff's reasonably arguable best case while guarding against oppressive demands: the affidavit leading to arrest was held sufficient, liability issues could not be resolved at interlocutory stage, speculative heads were rejected, and the court apportioned and rounded down recoverable heads to arrive at security of US$65,000,000.
