What is the test for a security for costs order in a family law proceeding?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Krzewina v. Beaumont, 2021 ONCJ 351 (CanLII):
[28] The mere satisfaction of the criteria in Rule 24(13) is not sufficient to merit an order for security for costs. It must also be just to make the order and generally in family law proceedings courts do not wish to see proceedings determined on their merits by an inability to post security for costs. Hodgin v. Buddhu, [2013] O.J. No.1262 (O.C.J.)
