- CACV160/2022
The Court refused the stay because the appeal lacked sufficient strength to justify interrupting execution given the trial judge's sustainable factual findings rejecting a partnership and finding employment ownership of the copyright, and ARTS failed to show additional grounds (notably a real risk of dissipation or that the appeal would be rendered nugatory), especially in light of available company law remedies and ARTS' failure to pursue a derivative action.
