The Associate Judge's decision refusing security for costs was within the proper exercise of judicial discretion; the plaintiffs' claim has sufficient substance and public interest character such that ordering security would risk denying access to justice, and the fourth defendants failed to establish that the Associate Judge was wrong on principle or plainly wrong in weighing the merits and public interest factors; accordingly the review is dismissed.
