- HCA12352/1998
The court exercised its discretion to refuse the interim stay because exceptional circumstances existed: the winding up petition was presented late and close to the scheduled oral examination, it appeared tactical and connected to the Bossini group, and there was a history of attempts to resist examination by unmeritorious arguments; the costs argument did not justify a stay as costs do not automatically confer priority and are for the Master's discretion.
