Winn v Blueprint Instant Printing Pty Ltd [2010] FCA 1513

Even assuming that an arguable ground of appeal might be found, the balance of convenience lay heavily against granting a stay because the appellant filed no material about solvency or the balance of convenience, did not show that bankruptcy would prevent prosecution of the appeal or that funds were needed for legal representation, offered only inadequate conditional undertakings, gave no adequate reassurance against dissipation of assets, and provided no medical or other evidence supporting asserted prejudice.
