- Case number
- HCCL82/2000
Both interlocutory applications were dismissed: defendant failed to show by credible evidence that there was reason to believe the plaintiff would be unable to pay defendant's costs (security for costs dismissed); the discovery requests were in large part irrelevant, amounted to a fishing expedition or involved privileged material not shown to be waived, and therefore specific discovery was refused. The timing of the security application was also a discretionary factor against the defendant. Costs awarded to the plaintiff.
