The court declined to make the garnishee orders absolute and declined to discharge them but granted a stay of execution until the final determination of HCA 1372/2013 because there was a real risk that sums paid out pursuant to the garnishee orders would not be recoverable if the High Court proceedings resulted in a judgment exceeding the Labour Tribunal awards; that risk justified exercising the inherent jurisdiction to stay execution pending resolution of the competing High Court claim (relying on Vallat and related authorities).
