- High Court
Security for costs in the sum of $17,500 was ordered because the plaintiff is a non-resident with modest resources, the claim against the third defendant has balanced but unproven merits requiring further evidence and the court concluded an intermediate security amount was appropriate to protect the defendant; the proceeding was stayed until security was provided.
