Security for costs

Orders made to give security for costs not yet incurred are made under s 117(2) usually in limited circumstances such as where the conduct of a party has caused significant delays to the proceedings, where they are likely to be wholly unsuccessful or where there has been a settlement offer. The financial position of the parties is very much under scrutiny in such an application.
