The Judge was entitled to assess the merits on the evidence; the plaintiffs' case was sufficiently strong and simple on the evidence (including a clear funds trail and receipt by the defendant), the defendant's evidence was unsatisfactory and he had not sworne to his statements nor disclosed his whereabouts, and his fugitive/contempt status made it proper to refuse security for costs; there is no basis to disturb the exercise of judicial discretion and no reasonable prospect of success on appeal.
