    PACIFIC TELECOMMUNICATIONS LTD. v. BB TELECOM LTD. AND ANOTHER

    Citation
    PACIFIC TELECOMMUNICATIONS LTD. v. BB TELECOM LTD. AND ANOTHER
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA19538/1998

    The court stayed execution of the Master's order because there was a real and arguable case for set-off/counterclaim and a contested without prejudice issue which could render the appeal nugatory if execution proceeded; additionally the Master imposed an unconditional payment-into-court requirement without following the proper procedure or allowing the defendants to demonstrate inability to comply, and the defendants filed an affidavit of means showing serious prejudice would result from payment into court.
