The Court allowed the appeal, holding the Deputy Judge erred in refusing an interim stay by failing to apply the controlling principle that interlocutory decisions must promote the just, economical and expeditious disposal of litigation; the Deputy Judge's insistence on immediate service under Order 18 unfairly risked unnecessary parallel litigation and costs, and therefore the refusal was set aside and an interim stay ordered pending the substantive hearing by Mayo J on 9 November 1994 or until further order.
