Threshold for security under r 60 was established (plaintiff impecunious and resident abroad); on merits the claim had little or no apparent merit because defendant had ceased acting before the adverse outcomes and causation between defendant's conduct and plaintiff's impecuniosity was not made out; balancing favoured defendant; security for costs ordered in the sum of NZD 15,000 staged to completion of discovery and proceeding stayed until paid, with leave to revisit security and costs to defendant for the application.
