British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Kedia v. Shandro Dixon Edgson, 2007 BCCA 316 (CanLII):
In Sangha v. Azevedo, 2005 BCCA 125, Huddart J.A.(in Chambers) also referred to factors that are considered on such an application. She stated, at para. 3, that applications for security for costs require a judge in chambers to consider “… the timeliness of the application, the parties’ means, the ease with which the respondents, if successful, could collect costs, and the merits of the appeal.”
