IceTV Pty Ltd v Duncan Ross & Ors [2011] NSWSC 1093

IceTV Pty Ltd v Duncan Ross & Ors [2011] NSWSC 1093

The cross-claim could not result in any sum becoming payable by the plaintiff to the defendants, and thus there was no mutuality. Consequently, the absence of mutuality deprived the stay application of much of its supposed utility, and the plaintiff was entitled to enforce its judgment.
