The Court or a Justice may, at any time on the application of a
defendant or respondent to any proceeding in the Court, other than an
application for special leave to appeal, order that a party who instituted the
proceeding give security, within a time fixed by the order and in such amount
as the Court or a Justice may fix, for the prosecution of the proceeding
without delay and for the payment of such costs as may be awarded by the Court
to that defendant or respondent.
