Defendant/respondent

Procedural Posture

Civil Appeal (interlocutory) / Appeal Against Grant of General Stay Pending Appeal (interlocutory)

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether the judge erred in granting a general stay pending appeal
  2. 2 Whether RSC O14 r3(2) and the Sheppards & Wilkinson principle applied to justify a stay
  3. 3 Whether the defendants' counterclaim/cross-claim was sufficiently connected and of sufficient value to warrant preservation of the status quo by stay

Ratio Decidendi

The Court held the judge did not err in exercising his discretion to grant a general stay pending appeal because the defendants demonstrated a reasonable prospect that O14 r3(2) and the Sheppards & Wilkinson principle applied given the substantial and related counterclaim; absent error of law or irrationality the Court will not disturb that discretion.

Court Disposition

Appeal dismissed

Orders

  • Appeal dismissed
