- High Court
On the balancing exercise under r 5.45, although the Society had an arguable case and acted in the public interest, it was effectively impecunious and had not undertaken to meet costs; balancing the interests of the parties and likely litigation impact on the Golf Club the Court ordered security for costs of $12,500 to be paid or secured by the plaintiff by the specified date, failing which the proceedings would be stayed (and potentially struck out).
