Summary

A Malaysian widow suing as administratrix of her deceased husband's estate in a road traffic accident claim appealed against an order requiring her to furnish $8,000 in security for costs on the basis that she was ordinarily resident outside Singapore. The court allowed the appeal and set aside the security order, finding the claimant had demonstrated a genuine and reasonable basis for her claim supported by a traffic police report and that pro bono counsel's representation should not affect the costs analysis.
