- High Court
The waiver application is declined because the appellant did not establish an inability to pay the modest $2,390 security for a one‑day hearing and impecuniosity alone did not justify waiver; the only factor approaching exceptional circumstances was the respondent's present self‑representation, so the interests of justice require security to be paid once respondent has counsel acting for him, payable within five working days of counsel confirming engagement.
