Ye v Commissioner for Fair Trading; Ucer Investments and Resources Management Pty Ltd v Commissioner for Fair Trading [2016] NSWCATAD 147

The application for a stay was refused because, although Ms Ye would suffer financial loss and may be unable to recover it, the public interest—given the seriousness of the findings involving misuse of trust funds and dealing with large client monies—outweighed the prejudice to the applicants, and the effectiveness of the ultimate determination did not require a stay.
