The defendants brought motions for security for costs against the plaintiffs in a 12-year-old action regarding water damage to commercial premises.
The court previously found the plaintiffs failed to prove impecuniosity.
The plaintiffs failed to adduce evidence demonstrating a good chance of success against any of the defendants on liability or damages, particularly given a $250,000 advance payment already made.
The court ordered the plaintiffs to post security for costs in tranches for each of the moving defendants, totaling $530,000 for the first tranche.
