Court

High Court

The application for security for costs was refused because, although the defendant demonstrated a real risk of being unable to recover costs, the plaintiff has at least one plausible and meritorious cause of action and the proposed security would likely prevent her from ventilating issues of public importance regarding vulnerability and unconscionability; the balance of justice therefore favoured refusal.
