The Family Court order for security for costs was quashed because the Judge failed to exercise the required discretion with regard to all relevant considerations (notably balancing the parties' respective interests and the likelihood that security would impede the substantive resolution both parties sought); the order was therefore made without proper regard to the merits and circumstances and was clearly wrong.
