A stay of execution of the Section 66 judgment (enforcing the arbitration award) is granted pending trial and disposal of the consolidated actions, on terms that TeliaSonera gives a cross-undertaking in damages. The court will not grant an injunction restraining enforcement but will substitute a stay. An injunction restraining Hillcourt from proceeding with a rent review is granted, or alternatively, an undertaking to cease further steps under the rent review provisions, supported by a cross-undertaking in damages from TeliaSonera.
