Given the plaintiff's admitted impecuniosity, lack of detailed financial evidence, and concerns about the merits of a claim based on an alleged unwritten personal guarantee, the Court exercised its discretion under Rule 60(1)(b) to order security for costs as necessary to protect defendants; the appropriate quantum was $10,000 per defendant and the proceedings were stayed until that security was provided, with costs of the application awarded to the defendants on a 2B basis.
