enough established that in aqeneral 'he aimpecuniosity of the
appellant is a ground for arderina cecurity for costs, rather
than the contracv. There are factors of course. which bear on
that situatzon, Tn the nresent case, Lam told that the present
appellant was one of a number of applicants in the court below
final
f also seem
un
Lar)
and that those applicants are no langer parties.
from what J have been told that the principal claim, which was
under 5.52 of the Trade Practices Act 1974, 15 one whitch related
more directly to other applicants. The appellant is not in the
position of proceeding to recover loss or damage which he did not
incur himself directlv.
There are a number of other factors qcoverning the matter
but I am satisfied that an order should be made and the question
3s really as ta how much. The amount sought 1s $20,000. I am
.told by Mr Naple for the appellant that in fact it is proposed to
reduce the number of grounds of appeal substantially and that
therefore the estimated time of the trial should be taken as
about one and a half days. As Mr Bannon has pointed out, this 1s
perhaps best taken, for practical purposes, 1s two days. The
application below was, as T have said, unsuccessful There was
however, a successful cross~-application on behalf of some or all
of the present respondents and the amounts liable to be paid. if
the present judgment stands, are very substantial
Doing the best T can with the figures and trying to
avo1d an order for security far costs which 1s unduly oppressive,
ws
the amount I think should be fixed at $10,000.
The hearing cf the case has, IT understand, heen fixed
for 10 July. This creates a problem jin terms of the time within
which the securirtv 1s to be provided. The ordinary order is that
the secrityv to be
may
ryravided or the appeal stand dismissed. What
J wilt do 1s erder fthat the securitv be aiven to the
satisfaction of the reqictrac within 14 «avs from today's date,
failing which the appeal is to stand dismissed.
One way or another it seems to me that the case will not
be ready to proceed on 10 July, that being the date for which it
1s presently fixed, and I wili order that that date be vacated
but that another date be fixed at a short time thereafter to be
determined by the district registrar on application made to him.
