All State brought a successful motion for security for costs in this action arising from a motor vehicle action. The plaintiff moved to Angola three years after the underlying accident and had not returned to Canada since. Examinations for discovery were conducted by video conference. On the motino, the plaintiff failed to lead sufficient evidence regarding the merits of the claim, or the plaintiff’s impecuniosity. The plaintiff did not himself file an affidavit in support of the motion (the affiant was a clerk of plaintiff’s counsel’s office). Justice Richetti ordered the plaintiff to post $10,000.00 as security for costs.
