PDF Version: Security for Costs on Appeals by Impecunious and Vexatious Litigants
The very short judgment of Mr. Justice Frans Slatter in Opal v. White is an unlikely candidate for a comment. It is barely more than a page - a scant seven paragraphs - and it cites neither rules nor precedents in deciding three applications for security for costs.
