1. This is the plaintiff’s application for security for costs on the grounds that the defendant is impecunious and reside out of the jurisdiction with no assets in Hong Kong. Either of those grounds if made out would constitute “special circumstances” warranting the making of an order for security for costs. At the conclusion of the hearing, the application was refused for written reasons to be handed down later which I now do.
