The appeal court refused leave to adduce fresh evidence because the Ladd v Marshall criteria were not met: the documents were not shown to be unobtainable with reasonable diligence, would not materially affect the outcome, and did not establish fraud; and the court ordered security for costs ($300,000) because the debtor was impecunious, lacked countervailing factors or reasonable prospects sufficient to outweigh the prejudice to the respondent, and it was just to stay the appeal until security was paid, with specified costs awards.
