Court of Appeal

The Registrar's refusal to dispense with security for costs is upheld because there were no exceptional circumstances, impecuniosity alone is insufficient, the appeal lacks public importance and has weak prospects, and the appellant declined legal aid; security for costs in the sum of $5,880 is required.
