1.—(1) Where, on the application of a defendant to an action or other proceeding in the High Court, it appears to the Court—
(a)that the plaintiff is ordinarily resident out of the jurisdiction, or
(b)that the plaintiff (not being a plaintiff who is suing in a representative capacity) is a nominal plaintiff who is suing for the benefit of some other person and that there is reason to believe that he will be unable to pay the costs of the defendant if ordered to do so, or,
(c)subject to paragraph (2), that the plaintiff's address is not stated in the writ or other originating process or is incorrectly stated therein, or
(d)that the plaintiff has changed his address during the course of the proceedings with a view to evading the consequences of the litigation,
then if, having regard to all the circumstances of the case, the Court thinks it just to do so, it may order the plaintiff to give such security for the defendant's costs of the action or other proceeding as it thinks just.
(2) The Court shall not require a plaintiff to give security by reason only of paragraph (1)(c) if he satisfies the Court that the failure to state his address or the mis-statement thereof was made innocently and without intention to deceive.
(3) The references in the foregoing paragraphs to a plaintiff and a defendant shall be construed as references to the person (howsoever described on the record) who is in the position of plaintiff or defendant, as the case may be, in the proceeding in question, including a proceeding on a counterclaim.
[E.r. 1]
2. Where an order is made requiring any party to give security for costs the security shall be given in such manner, at such times, and on such terms (if any), as the Court may direct.
[E.r. 2]
3. This Order is without prejudice to the provisions of any statutory provision which empowers the Court to require security to be given for the costs of any proceedings.
