McEvoy v Wagglens Pty Ltd [2020] NSWCA 330

McEvoy v Wagglens Pty Ltd [2020] NSWCA 330

The notice of motion was dismissed because the applicant failed to provide grounds that would justify a stay of enforcement of the costs orders, failed to demonstrate a basis for granting leave to appeal or for reopening evidence, did not justify the return of garnisheed funds, and did not establish grounds to exceed the normal summary of argument length. There was no sufficient explanation for delay nor expectation of success on appeal and no basis for additional evidence or other orders.
