On the evidence the court found Plaintiffs 1-3 are ordinarily resident outside the jurisdiction and there was credible material showing risk they would be unable to meet defendants' costs if unsuccessful; balancing the statutory factors and case law the court exercised its discretion to allow the security for costs applications (Kand.21 and Kand.23) and ordered specified security payments and costs in the cause.

Security for costs was ordered only against the Fourth and Fifth Appellants because credible evidence showed they were impecunious (Fourth under judicial management, Fifth dormant with land that may form part of disputed subject matter) and therefore likely unable to pay costs; the First to Third Appellants did not meet Order 23 thresholds and impecuniosity alone was insufficient to justify security against them; prior notice is not mandatory under s44 CJA and r17 RCA and RM50,000 in total was a fair and reasonable security for the three interlocutory appeals.

The court exercised its discretion under Order 23 and found the plaintiff did not fall within the specified categories and the defendant's evidence (Company Commission search) was insufficient to establish inability to pay; therefore the application for security for costs was dismissed and costs awarded to the plaintiff.
