RABOBANK ASIA LTD. v. NGAN PING WOON

RABOBANK ASIA LTD. v. NGAN PING WOON

Rogers J. refused the application for a stay because the appeal was not shown to be sufficiently serious; the appellant's prospects were slim even taking into account newly raised points and a substantial judgment was likely, so a stay would not be appropriate absent adequate security or stringent conditions.
