A stay of execution was granted, conditional on Wyse & Young International Pty Ltd and Wyse Accounting Pty Ltd providing security by fixed and floating charge over their assets, as the appeal in respect of Pineview's judgment was at least arguably open, and refusal of stay would render the appeal nugatory by leading to winding up and bankruptcy; the statutory demands were set aside upon this security being given. No arguable case was found regarding Ms Huybers' judgment, but prejudice to the judgment creditor can be mitigated by terms.
