ALDO TRADING LTD v. PARTNER DECORATION ENGINEERING LTD

Citation

ALDO TRADING LTD v. PARTNER DECORATION ENGINEERING LTD
Court

Court of First Instance
Case number

HCA1199/2005

The application for stay was dismissed because the applicant failed to demonstrate that the appeal strength and the risk of non-recovery met the threshold for a stay; there was no cogent evidence the judgment sum would be dissipated if paid, and the offer to pay into court did not alter the balancing exercise in favour of granting a stay, so the successful party should not be deprived of prompt payment.
