The Vice‑President granted a stay of the $20,000,000 because there were arguable points of appeal (including a plausible contention that the Chinese Temples Ordinance might govern the funds), recovery of distributed funds would be difficult, the additional delay caused by a stay was limited relative to the long history of the litigation, and it was undesirable to expend money on repairs pending appeal; the stay was made conditional on filing a notice of appeal and costs were to follow the appeal.
