The defendants and third parties brought a motion for security for costs against the plaintiff, who resides in Connecticut and has no assets in Ontario.
The plaintiff, who was rendered paraplegic in a snowmobile accident, sought $15 million in damages.
The court found the threshold for security for costs was met and the plaintiff failed to show that an order would be unjust.
The court ordered the plaintiff to post $60,000 in security for costs, payable in three stages, taking into account his costs insurance policy and the need to avoid preventing him from advancing his litigation.
