MIDDEN & GALLOWAY

In the matter of *Midden & Galloway*, heard before Judge McGuire, the dispute concerned an application by Mr Midden for security for costs. Ms Galloway sought to preserve a portion of settlement monies payable by Mr Midden to her as security for costs related to applications made by Mr Midden.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether to grant Mr Midden's application for security for costs, and if so, to what extent and in what manner the security should be provided. This involved determining the appropriate amount to be preserved and the conditions under which it should be held.

Judge McGuire ordered that $169,220.00 of the settlement monies payable by Mr Midden to Ms Galloway be preserved as security for costs. These funds were to be held in a trust account by Mr Midden's solicitors in an interest-bearing account, with the interest accruing to Ms Galloway. The Application in a Case filed on 11 June 2015 was otherwise dismissed.
