The defendants sought security for costs against the plaintiff, alleging outstanding costs orders and that the action was frivolous and vexatious.
The court granted the motion for security for costs against three of the four defendants, finding the claims against them to be frivolous and vexatious and rejecting the plaintiff's plea of impecuniosity due to unexplained resources.
The claim against the fourth defendant was not deemed frivolous or vexatious at this stage due to unresolved credibility issues.
The successful moving parties were deprived of their costs for the motion due to a procedural breach.
