- High Court
Security for costs of $800 was ordered because rule 20.13 creates a prima facie requirement for security, the appeal was assessed as weak on the clear statutory provisions (s12 and s60 LG(R)A 2002) and the appellant was not impecunious (owns unencumbered home); therefore it was not in the interests of justice to dispense with security.
