Procedural Posture

Notice of Motion (application) / Application for Stay of Execution/stay of Consent Judgment – Post Default Judgment, Post Consent Orders

Legal Issues

  1. 1 ['Whether Hargraves was in breach of the Deed of Settlement and Release' "Whether Hargraves' conduct affected the Pooles' ability to refinance or sell properties" 'Whether a stay of the writs of possession and/or consent judgment should be granted']

Ratio Decidendi

The Pooles failed to demonstrate any breach of the Deed by Hargraves or any causal connection between the alleged conduct and their inability to refinance or sell the properties. Given the multiple opportunities and extensions already afforded, and the absence of any substantiated prejudice or unfairness, it was neither fair nor just to further stay the enforcement of Hargraves’ rights under the consent judgment.

Court Disposition

Notice of Motion filed 3 December 2012 dismissed; Defendants to pay the plaintiff's costs.
