The defendants brought a motion for security for costs against the plaintiff, a single-purpose corporation formed to build a commercial dam.
The plaintiff's project failed after delays in obtaining location approval and the subsequent termination of its feed-in tariff contract.
The court found good reason to believe the plaintiff had insufficient assets to pay costs and that the plaintiff failed to show a good chance of success on the merits to avoid the order.
The court ordered the plaintiff to post security for costs in stages.
