- High Court
The court accepted there was credible evidence the plaintiff could not meet an adverse costs order from his own resources and that the only available indemnity was speculative and unenforceable; balancing the parties' positions and the arguability of the claim, it was just to order security but not for the full claimed quantum, and the appropriate security was fixed at $25,000 to be provided within 15 working days, failing which the proceeding would be stayed.
