    CLARE HOLLINGWORTH v. THOMAS EDWARD JUSON
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA249/2006

    The stay is lifted because the Director refused legal aid, the statutory stay's purpose (to enable legal representation) no longer applies as the defendant remains represented and is not seeking private representation, the Deputy Judge's order removed any direction that the defendant's summonses be heard first so lifting the stay causes no real prejudice, and an appeal against refusal of legal aid does not automatically preserve the stay and was unlikely to be determined within the remaining stay period.
