The defendant failed to demonstrate a real and substantial risk of injustice to the criminal proceedings from continuing the civil action; the plaintiffs had already presented particularised pleaded claims and extensive affidavit evidence, key bank records were available to both the police and the plaintiffs, and the prosecution's independent investigatory efforts reduced any real risk of prejudice; accordingly the balance favoured refusal of the stay and the Summons was dismissed.
