Holgye v Dyluc Pty Limited

Holgye v Dyluc Pty Limited concerned an application for security for costs of an appeal. The appellant, Holgye, sought to appeal a decision, and the third respondent sought security for its costs of that appeal. The matter came before Emmett JA in the Court of Appeal of New South Wales.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether the appellant should be ordered to provide security for the costs of the third respondent in the appeal. This involved considering the relevant rules and principles governing applications for security for costs, particularly in the context of an appeal.

Emmett JA considered the application and ordered that the appellant provide security for the third respondent's costs of the appeal by paying $37,000 into court by 26 November 2013. The proceedings were stayed until this security was provided. The Court further ordered that the proceedings be listed for consequential orders on 27 November 2013, with the possibility of dismissal if security was not furnished. Liberty was also granted to the parties to apply for additional security. The appellant was ordered to pay the applicant's costs of the motion.
