Jornad Pty Ltd v Sapme Pty Ltd

Jornad Pty Ltd sought damages against Sapme Pty Ltd for alleged false and misleading representations. The defendants sought security for costs, arguing that the plaintiff's case was weak, that the plaintiff's financial difficulties were caused by the defendants, and that there were persons standing behind the plaintiff likely to indemnify them. The court had to decide whether the application for security for costs was brought promptly, whether the plaintiff's case was weak, whether the plaintiff's impecuniosity was caused by the defendants, whether the application was oppressive, and whether there were persons standing behind the plaintiff likely to indemnify them.

The court found that the application for security for costs was not brought promptly. However, it was not persuaded that the plaintiff's case was weak. The court also found that the plaintiff's financial difficulties were not caused by the defendants. The court held that the application was not oppressive, and that there were no persons standing behind the plaintiff likely to indemnify them. The court refused the application for security for costs and ordered the defendants to pay the plaintiff's costs of the application.
