The Court dismissed the appeal: HASDA failed to demonstrate a bona fide dispute on substantial grounds. The primary judge was entitled to reject the asserted oral 'pay-when-paid' agreement and industry practice, to regard the text messages and industry witness evidence as insufficiently probative, and to find the 30-day contractual payment term and the parties' conduct inconsistent with the alleged collateral arrangement; no palpable error justified appellate intervention.
