    The applications for security for costs were dismissed because the court, exercising its discretion, found that a winding up status did not automatically require security; given the advanced stage of trial, credible prospect of success, late timing of the applications and the fact the winding up was initiated by the third defendant in a related dispute (risking stifling a genuine claim), it was not just to order security.
