- Court of Appeal
The Deputy Registrar and Court correctly concluded that although the appellant is impecunious, the appeal is not reasonably arguable nor raises a public interest sufficient to justify dispensing with security for costs; the Judge correctly applied Denize and s 387 on service, properly exercised discretion to cure an advertising breach where no prejudice resulted, prior judgments precluded re-litigation of set-off issues, and unpaid judgment debts establish prima facie insolvency, so security for costs must be required and the review is declined.
