Harris v. Harris

Stay denied because appellant failed to demonstrate irreparable harm (no realistic risk of default on the second mortgage given the scheduled payment), appellant's conduct in unilaterally reducing payments constituted a self-created stay and weighed against equitable relief, and the balance of convenience favored the respondent; therefore the Superior Court order must be complied with pending appeal and security for costs was not ordered.

  • Variation of support
  • Stay pending appeal
  • Security for costs
  • Non-variation clause
  • Equalization payment
  • Power of sale
