TEXTRALIAN ENTERPRISES PTY LTD v PERPETUAL TRUSTEES (VIC) [1999] NSWCA 30

The application for stay was refused because the appellants failed to show capacity to provide security for the judgment debt, their prospects of appeal were assessed as slender, and there was evidence of insolvency and asset transfers likely to defeat the respondents’ interests. Security for costs of $30,000 was ordered given the likelihood that appellants could not satisfy adverse costs orders.
