The defendants brought a motion for security for costs against the plaintiff, who resides in India.
The plaintiff argued that he was impecunious and had a meritorious claim arising from a motor vehicle accident.
The court found that the plaintiff failed to provide robust financial disclosure to prove impecuniosity.
Furthermore, the court held that the plaintiff did not demonstrate a good chance of success due to a serious limitation period defence, as the action was commenced over five years after the accident.
The motion was granted, and the plaintiff was ordered to post $15,000 in security for costs.
